An excerpt from an interview with Clint Malarchuk where he mentions this campaign. His book is incredibly insightful, and I very highly recommend it for everyone.

DW: Do you think the NHL is doing enough to help players' when in comes to the issue of mental health and mental illness?

CM: I don't think it's the NHL, I think it's society in general that has to do more about mental health awareness. Bell is probably the biggest corporation doing the most with mental health. The program Let's Talk nationwide is extensive and high profile, with high profile people involved. It's really what we need. To me they're [Bell] at the forefront leading what everybody else has to pick up on. The NHL, NFL, NBA and even including corporations worldwide need to pick up on this. The statistics are unbelievable on days lost in the workforce due to mental health reasons. If corporations looked at those numbers, they'd figure out they need to do something here. It's a win-win if we get going on this. It's no different than physical health, if you've got cancer or a medical problem where you're going to miss work you would tell your boss. If you have a mental health problem you don't go to your boss. But if the company saw those numbers they would say, “hey, if you have problems like that, just come to us, it's totally confidential, and we'll get you some help” because let's face it business is about money. Having people out of work is probably losing companies money. If there can be preventative medicine, they would do it.
