The Washington Capitals hosted their first ever Hockey Talks Mental Health Awareness night during their game against the New Jersey Devils.
Partnering with MedStar health, the game had several activities discussing the topic of mental health which included a PSA, video features, and even a table set up so fans can learn more about the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
With that same organization, the team hosted an event called Talk Saves Lives which was a presentation on mental health and suicide prevention. That took place last Thursday.
Similar to “Hockey Fights Cancer” fans were encouraged to print out signs encouraging those that are going through rough times and reminding us all that we’re never alone.
