The 5th Annual Construction Mental Health & Wellbeing Conference will be held in Portland, OR from February 23-26, 2026 - Presented by UA Local 290 Plumbers, Steamfitters, HVAC/R, Marine Fitters and NECA/IBEW Northwest Mental Health Coalition. Launched in 2022 as the Construction Working Minds Summit through the collaboration and pioneering efforts of construction industry leaders, mental health professionals and the lived experience community, The Construction Mental Health & Wellbeing Conference has grown into a nationally recognized event bringing together hundreds of construction industry, mental health and suicide prevention trailblazers from across the United States. Celebrating our 5th Anniversary, we're updating our name and logo this year to reflect our vision of the future, but our purpose remains the same. To build a sense of community among the construction industry that leverages the lived experience of survivors to prevent suicide and overdoses, while promoting mental health, addiction recovery and overall wellbeing. The 2026 theme, "Moving from Surviving to Thriving," sets our course for uplifting the industry from a place of community, strength, and resilience. Registration closes Friday, February 13th at 11:59pm
