Aviation Mental Health Symposium

November 10, 2025 | Montreal, Canada

This year's Aviation Mental Health Symposium will continue to foster collaboration among collegiate aviation programs, mental health professionals, industry leaders, and the FAA in reducing the stigma surrounding help-seeking in aviation. The symposium will feature a range of panels, including those focused on peer support programs, mental health professionals working in aviation training organizations, research roundtables, and strategies for mental health promotion during the early stages of flight training. These sessions aim to bridge the gap in understanding, and enhance support systems across the aviation community. The Aviation Mental Health Symposium is made possible through the John A. Hauser Mental Health in Aviation Initiative Fund, thus there is no cost to attend.

This year's symposium is hosted in conjunction with the International Peer Assist Aviation Coalition (IPAAC) annual conference.

Change Starts Here

In 2021, the University of North Dakota hosted its first Aviation Mental Health Symposium. During this landmark event, held as part of an Aviation Mental Health Summit in Chicago, UND connected virtually with representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. Air Force, the Aviation Medicine Advisory Service, several major airlines, and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). Meanwhile, more than 60 UND students and faculty gathered in person at the Memorial Union to participate.

In 2022, UND hosted its second Aviation Mental Health Symposium, solidifying a tradition that would grow a network within the aviation community, particularly in higher education, focused on addressing mental health challenges in the field. In the years that followed, the symposium began rotating locations, with different universities and partner organizations taking turns to host the event. The 2023 symposium was held at Middle Tennessee State University, followed by the 2024 symposium at Western Michigan University.
