A group of four individuals holding signs promoting mental health support, with a table displaying resources in an arena setting. The signs are in both English and French. They read: 'I will help you get help.'; 'It's OK to ask for help'; 'You are not alone'.; 'There is a strength in speaking up'.

Brock University and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Niagara promoted the Talk Today mental health program during the Badgers' men's and women's hockey games held at Canada Games Park on Friday, Feb. 14. The initiative provides student-athletes with vital mental health resources, fostering open conversations about well-being in sports.
