PRCA MENA has launched the fourth edition of its regional Mental Health Survey, inviting communications professionals across the Middle East and North Africa to share their experiences, challenges and perspectives around wellbeing in the workplace. 

Results from the survey will feed into the PRCA MENA Mental Health Report 2026, scheduled to be released at the PRCA MENA Annual Conference in September. 

Developed in partnership with YouGov and led by the PRCA MENA Mental Health Committee, the benchmark survey aims to provide an updated snapshot of the mental health landscape across the industry, while helping agencies, in-house teams and industry leaders better understand the pressures facing communications professionals today.

The industry's only such initiative forms part of PRCA MENA’s ongoing commitment to champion healthier workplace cultures and encourage more open conversations around wellbeing across the sector.

Conrad Egbert, Head of PRCA MENA, said:

“Mental health continues to be one of the most important conversations facing our industry. Each year, the survey gives us a clearer understanding of the realities communications professionals are navigating across the region, from workload pressures to workplace culture and wellbeing support. The more participation we see from across the industry, the more meaningful and accurate the findings will be.”

John Rynehart, Chair of the PRCA MENA Mental Health Committee and Managing Director, Middle East at Kekst CNC, added:

“The communications industry continues to evolve at pace, and with that comes increasing pressure on professionals across all levels of the sector. This survey plays an important role in helping the industry better understand where support is needed, while also encouraging more honest and constructive conversations around mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. We strongly encourage professionals from across the region to take part.”

Findings from the survey and the report will continue to contribute towards PRCA MENA’s wider mental health initiatives and industry resources.
