2026 Annual Dinner From Isolation to Belonging: Supporting Connection

Join MHA-SWPA for an evening with Dr. Kenneth Thompson exploring loneliness, isolation and how we can build stronger, connected communities. Mental Health America of Southwestern PA’s Annual Dinner Join us for an inspiring evening as we explore this year’s theme, “From Isolation to Belonging: Supporting Connection at Every Age.” Together, we’ll examine the impact of loneliness and social isolation and the importance of creating communities where everyone feels connected, supported, and valued. We are honored to welcome Dr. Kenneth S. Thompson, a Pittsburgh-based community psychiatrist and national leader in community-centered mental health. Dr. Thompson will share his insights on loneliness and isolation and introduce Integrative Community Therapy (ICT), a group-based approach that uses connection and community to support mental health and healing. The Annual Dinner brings together community leaders, advocates, professionals, supporters, and friends to connect, learn, and reflect on how we can strengthen mental wellness in our communities. Join us as we move from isolation to belonging and continue building a healthier, more connected Southwestern Pennsylvania. Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities Available—Learn More.
