Talk today

Talk Today is a mental health education program

designed for BC Hockey League (BCHL) players

and their supporters to learn about mental health

and increase their skills in order to help support

players who may be struggling or at risk of

suicide.

Developed by the Canadian Mental Health

Association (CMHA), the Talk Today program is

one of the most comprehensive mental health

programs for amateur sports in Canada. It

consists of several components including mental

health and suicide awareness workshops, mental

health coaches, and Talk Today community

awareness events at BCHL games.

 

By building relationships between BC Hockey

League teams and local CMHA branches we

aim to help young athletes connect with the

mental health supports and resources they need

to thrive.

Talk Today builds on the success of an initiative

of the same name launched in Ontario in 2014

as a partnership between CMHA Ontario and

the Ontario Hockey League.
