A day of learning, connection, and meaningful conversations about mental health.
On October 21, 2026, Mental Health America of Spartanburg County hosted its 11th Annual Mental Health Symposium at The Piedmont Club in downtown Spartanburg.
Guided by this year’s theme, “Deep Roots; New Growth,” the Symposium brought together mental health professionals, advocates, and community partners with a shared commitment to strengthening mental health awareness, expanding knowledge, and reducing stigma throughout our community.
Meaningful Conversations. Valuable Connections.
This year’s Symposium created space for thoughtful discussions, professional growth, and opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for mental health and well-being.
Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to explore important issues affecting individuals, families, and the professionals who support them. The conversations reinforced the importance of compassionate care, continued education, collaboration, and recognizing the mental health needs of those who dedicate their lives to helping others.
We are grateful to everyone who contributed their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives to make this year’s event meaningful.
