Athlete Mental Health Week

Athlete Mental Health Week 2026

Athlete Mental Health Week Is Here!

#AMHW2026 is a nationwide movement to amplify and unite athletes’ voices, advocate for #MentalHealthInSports, and break down stigma.

Athlete Mental Health Week brings athletes, teams, schools, and organizations together to amplify athlete voices, share real stories, and prioritize mental well-being in sport. Through engaging conversations, virtual sessions, and practical resources, we’re creating space for learning, connection, and action on and off the field.

Save the date and sign up to join us February 2-8, 2026 for the third annual Athlete Mental Health Week.

What to Expect.

Athlete Mental Health Week brings the sports community together through storytelling, education, and action. Throughout the week, Athletes for Hope and our partner organizations will spotlight the lived experiences of athletes, share trusted mental health resources, and encourage open, honest conversations about wellbeing in sports.

Expect:

  • Powerful athlete stories that inspire understanding and connection
  • Mental health education and resources for athletes, coaches, and communities
  • Social media moments and national conversations that challenge stigma
  • Opportunities to engage, reflect, and advocate for change

Together, we’re working to build a culture where athletes feel supported not just in competition but in life.

Athletes give everything to their sport—mind and body included. Athlete Mental Health Week is a national movement dedicated to amplifying athlete voices, breaking stigma, and making mental well-being a priority at every level of sport.
