Testimonials

“The Insurance Bureau of Canada really values our partnership with CMHA HKPR. We have hosted multiple Mental Health First Aid sessions with Jack Veitch, who trained over 50% of our staff! Jack’s engaging approach and expertise made the sessions highly impactful and engaging, especially during the pandemic. We were also so fortunate to have Jack speak at one of our all-staff meetings on stress management, sharing practical and tangible tips that resonated with our team. Thanks to CMHA HKPR and Jack, we are able build on our wellness initiatives and support mental health for all. We look forward to working with Jack again soon!”

“In 2014 the Talk Today program was piloted by the Peterborough Petes and recognizing the value and impact the program had on our players, it was quickly adapted to include all teams not only in the OHL, but many other levels of hockey throughout Canada.  We value the strong partnership we have with the CMHA HKPR and the work our Mental Health Coach, Jack Veitch does with players, team staff, billets and families, leading a program that provides mental health awareness and suicide prevention training opportunities.”
