Battle for Mental Health Hockey Game in Durham

The second annual Battle for Mental Health hockey game goes this Sunday in Durham.

#GetInTouchForHutch and WES for Youth Online will ice teams made of friends and family of Steven Hutchison and Wes Cameron, two local boys who both tragically ended their own lives.

#GetInTouchForHutch was started to raise awareness of mental health issues to remove the stigma that can keep those issues quiet.

WES for Youth Online provides free online counselling to youth in Grey, Bruce and surrounding areas.

Myrna Hutchison is one of the founders of #Get-In-Touch-For-Hutch and says the way the community has been coming together for the cause has been amazing.
