Saskatoon Branch

Talk Today

The Saskatoon Blades and the Saskatoon Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) are teaming up to raise awareness about the importance of mental health during the Blades’ upcoming home game against the Moose Jaw Warriors.

The Saskatoon Blades’ game on February 6th at 7:00pm will feature:
• A CMHA-run kiosk so fans can learn more about mental health
• Videos featuring Saskatoon Blades players talking about the importance of mental health
• Public address announcements about mental health
• Stick it to Stigma brochures and t-shirts will be available at the CHMA kiosk
• Interactive gambling awareness activity

The awareness campaign is part of the ongoing commitment by the Saskatoon Blades and CMHA Saskatoon to implement the Talk Today program. Talk Today provides mental health support to players and raises awareness about mental health and suicide prevention throughout communities across the Western Hockey League.

A key piece of the Talk Today program has been to educate players about mental health and suicide prevention. Every team has received mental health training specific to suicide prevention. Each team is also now linked to a CMHA Mental Health Coach, who provides support and mental health resources to individuals in need.

“We’re extremely grateful to partner with the Saskatoon Blades to host a Talk Today event to increase public awareness and to promote mental health in this community.  By hosting this event, the Saskatoon Blades and Saskatoon CMHA branch are helping eliminate the stigma and discrimination associated with mental health issues and encouraging discussion within the community about mental health,” said Faith Bodnar, Executive Director of CMHA Saskatoon.

“Like the local CMHA Saskatoon Branch, we are pleased to have an opportunity to help promote the Talk Today program through a Saskatoon Blades game. Increasing public awareness and promoting mental health in Saskatoon and greater Canada is all part of our organization’s responsibilities as a member of Saskatoon, as it is for the Western Hockey League as well,” said Cliff Mapes, Vice President of the Saskatoon Blades.

Mental Health Week 2018

CMHA-Web-Banners-v03-PrePromotion-1

 

Mental health is about more than mental illness

It’s more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s annual Mental Health Week is May 7-13, 2018

  • Each May, Canadians in communities, schools, workplaces and the House of Commons
    rally around CMHA Mental Health Week.
  • 2018 marks the 67th annual CMHA Mental Health Week.
  • Mental Health Week is led by the Canadian Mental Health Association, which is also
    celebrating its 100    th anniversary this year.

Mental health is about more than mental illness

  • One in five Canadians live with mental health problems, mental illnesses or addiction.
    But the reality is, five in five of us have mental health, just like we all have physical
    health.
  • We can all benefit from celebrating, promoting and acknowledging the role that good
    mental health plays in living a full and meaningful life.

Let’s #GetLoud about what mental health really is

  • Mental health is about more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about
    who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows.
  • Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.

Next to Normal

Next to Normal

Next to Normal, winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.

Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son

are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical family. And yet, the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years.

Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart. This deeply moving piece of theatre is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.
