BC Hockey League Launches New Mental Health Initiative
A new partnership called Talk Today between the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) is opening up the discussion around mental health.
The B.C. Division of the CMHA announced on Tuesday, October 6th that the partnership will increase mental health support available to the 17 BCHL teams. Each team will have a liaison available to speak about mental health, addictions, and provide referrals.
During a news conference held in Vancouver, Okanagan Rockets player Myles Mattila spoke. Mattila is a mental health advocate. “I wanted to become a mental health advocate because a few years ago I had a teammate that was going through some mental distress and he needed some help and at that point I didn’t have any resources that I could use to get him help.”
