At GDC 2019, the IGDA announced the creation of a the Mental Health Advocacy (MHA) SIG. As part of the MHA SIG debut, we hosted a mental health round table discussion where over 50 people showed up and shared their frustration, challenges, and hopes around mental health in the games industry. We are currently analyzing the data from the round table to identify and set the MHA SIG’s priorities for 2019.

We look forward to expanding avenues of communication and engagement with interested IGDA members.
