Since its launch in 2014\, Talk Today has provided an important opportunity to address the mental health needs of hockey players and other athletes across Canada. From 2014 through the 2022-23 season\, nearly 8\,600 individuals have received mental health and suicide awareness training through the program. The vast majority of individuals trained are athletes (7\,598)\, but coaches (381)\, staff (217)\, billets and parents (400) have also participated in training\, helping to create a culture of openness within athlete support networks. \nThe key piece of the Talk Today program has been to educate players about mental health and suicide prevention. Each team is also linked to a CMHA mental health coach\, who provides support and mental health resources to individuals in need. \n“Talk Today highlights the impact that strong community partnerships can have on mental health. Working alongside the Windsor Spitfires helps normalize conversations about mental health and ensures young people know that support is always within reach.” said Nicole Sbrocca\, CEO\, CMHA-WECB. \n“The Talk Today program is a vital resource for our entire organization. They provide support and mental health resources to individuals in need\, and they have equipped our players with educational training that they can use going forward in their lives.” said Nick Welsh\, Communications\, Media and Community Relations Manager of the Windsor Spitfires Hockey Club \nFor more information on the Talk Today program\, visit www.talktoday.ca.
