MSP Well is honoured to collaborate with a select group of media partners whose voices, platforms and reputations are deeply trusted across the IT community. These partners play a meaningful role in helping us elevate mental wellness as a core industry priority. Their support includes amplifying our message through events, conference representation, online publications and community outreach that brings visibility to the people who need it most.
MSP Well is profoundly grateful for their commitment to strengthening the human side of the channel, and we are proud to recognize their contributions below as we work together to build a healthier and more resilient community.
MSP Well is proud to recognize TechnoPlanet as our official Canadian media sponsor, and to acknowledge the extraordinary contribution they are making to advance mental wellness across the IT channel. Led by long‑time industry champion Julian Lee, TechnoPlanet has spent more than three decades informing, connecting, and elevating the Canadian technology community. Today, they are extending that same influence and reach toward a mission that matters deeply: supporting the mental health of the people who power our industry.
Julian has been clear about the urgency of this work. As he states, “Mental health and burnout pose a significant, yet often unaddressed, challenge within the IT community. It truly is our industry’s ‘silent killer.’” He reminds us that during the pandemic, IT professionals were designated essential workers, carrying immense responsibility under relentless pressure. In cybersecurity especially, he notes that “the concept of genuine downtime is virtually nonexistent,” and that unmanaged stress affects not only practitioners, but also their families, teams, and the long‑term sustainability of the industry itself.
TechnoPlanet is bringing its full media ecosystem, including eChannelNEWS and ChannelNEXT events, to amplify MSP Well’s mission and help us reach Canadian MSPs, MSSPs, vendors, and technology leaders who need support.
We are deeply grateful for TechnoPlanet’s commitment to shining a light on mental wellness, breaking stigma, and helping us build a healthier, more sustainable future for the IT community. Together, we’re working to fix this.

MSP Well is honored to recognize The Channel Company as our official United States media partner. Their leadership, influence and commitment to strengthening the IT channel make them an essential force in elevating mental health awareness across the industry. Under the guidance of Bill Jones, President of Communities, The Channel Company is helping bring visibility and weight to a conversation that has been overlooked for far too long.
Bill captured the heart of this partnership when he shared, “We are proud to stand alongside MSP Well in this mental health initiative. As an organization, we see it as our responsibility to use our platforms to elevate conversations that truly matter to the channel. Supporting mental health is not a moment. It is an ongoing commitment to the people and leaders who make this community thrive.”
This collaboration begins at March 2026’ XChange event in Orlando Florida, where the channel comes together to connect, learn and lead. Bill expressed why this launch matters, saying, “XChange has always been about meaningful connections and real conversations, and mental health deserves a central place in that dialogue. This partnership reflects our shared belief that well being and business success go hand in hand.”
With the full support of The Channel Company, MSP Well will reach more IT professionals, owners and leaders across the United States, ensuring that mental wellness becomes a visible and vital part of the channel’s future. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and their commitment to championing the people behind the technology.
The IT channel moves fast and the pressure is real. When we work together, we can build a culture that values mental wellness, supports open conversation and lifts the people behind the technology we all rely on.
