Hockey players in the Central Canada Hockey League will benefit from a new partnership between the league and Canadian Mental Health Associations. With support from the NHL foundation, the partnership will see the Talk Today program made available to all 12 teams in the CCHL. President of the league Kevin Abrams says program will give players mental health awareness and suicide-prevention training.
The CCHL is one of only four hockey leagues in Canada to be part of the roll out program. Since being developed in 2014, the Talk Today program has created mental health conversations and reduced stigma in dressing rooms, hockey rinks and communities across Canada.
