A McGill University study has found that the Talk Today mental health program is having a positive impact on CJHL junior A hockey players.
The need for mental health support hit home following the bus tragedy.
Although the program was around prior to the Humboldt tragedy, Chow says it was kind of the catalyst to try to do something for all junior A hockey players, providing them with some reference points. The Talk Today program is there to help remind players there’s always room to talk about mental health.
About 70 teams have been trained on mental health awareness and suicide prevention in the CJHL across the eight participating leagues in the 2022-23 season to date. Prior to this season, since the program’s launch with the Ontario Hockey League in 2014, more than 5,700 participants have received mental health awareness and suicide prevention training.Article content
“Our approach here, as well as the staff, is to always have an open-door policy. It’s not only about hockey; it’s about being good people and hope they’re in healthy minds, as well. If they need some help, we’re here to help them or give them some avenues. Through the program, they came and talked about it as well.”
