Pilot Mental Health Campaign

The Pilot Mental Health Campaign, known as PMHC, is a United States advocacy group for pilot mental health. It works to reform how aviation handles mental health. It describes itself as the only advocacy group dedicated to creating a modern aeromedical system that works for both pilots and passengers. Its mailing address is in Seattle, Washington.

PMHC says the current system is broken. It says government rules have created a culture of fear for aviators. Its mission is to reform aviation mental health. It credits pilot advocates and large public attention for bringing the issue into the open.

In the 119th Congress, the campaign has helped bring two bills forward. It asks supporters to tell their representatives in Congress why aviation mental health matters to them.

News coverage follows the issue. A December 2025 Reuters report said dozens of airline pilots are reluctant to disclose mental health issues, even minor or treatable ones, because of the risk of grounding and a career-ending review. An October 2025 Spectrum News report covered a bill in Congress that aims to make it easier for pilots to seek mental health help. A member of Congress has also argued that pilots should not be grounded for seeking mental health care.

PMHC shares personal stories from pilots and their families. Pilots can send in their own story. It runs a blog, and it offers pages on research, open studies and how to get help. It also runs a stakeholder survey.

People can sign up for updates, find events, buy from the campaign store or donate. PMHC invites partners and the media to get in touch.
