The Seattle Thunderbirds, Crisis Connections and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) are teaming up to raise awareness about the importance of mental health at the game on Friday, February 8, against the Portland Winterhawks.

The T-Birds game against the Winterhawks will feature:

• A Crisis Connection table on the accesso ShoWare Center concourse so fans can learn more about mental health
• Public address announcements about mental health.
• Special pre-game puck drop ceremony.

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