Live Well: Events in New York & Nationwide

From October 8-9. 2026, the 2026 Mental Health America Conference in Washington, D.C., will focus on the theme More Good Days, Together. 

Through this theme, the conference will explore how to make more good days possible for all by connecting people to the right support at the right time and recognizing that “good” is defined by unique mental health experiences and goals.

Experts will share practical strategies, innovative tools, and lived experiences to help attendees shape effective advocacy, engagement, and care in their own communities.

 The cost of breast cancer care can be significant and often extends beyond treatment itself. Medical bills, insurance costs, prescription expenses, and time away from work can add another layer of stress.  But you don't have to navigate these challenges alone.  

Join us on Oct 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM for a practical webinar featuring experts who will share resources, strategies, and concrete steps to help you better manage the financial side of breast cancer care.   Have questions? Bring them with you — our experts will answer your questions live.

 On Wednesday, October 14, from 6 PM - 9 PM: An evening of real stories, expert insight and important conversations about heart health, ATTR-CM, early diagnosis and treatment.

The evening will also feature a special screening of: “Don’t Pass on Your Heart Health: Real Stories. Real Talk. Recognizing ATTR-CM”
