About Connect Sport
Connect Sport is a registered charity working to make mental health literacy a foundational part of sport. We create accessible, evidence-based training and advocate for safer, more supportive environments—locally, nationally, and, one day, globally.
Because mental health deserves a place on every field, every court, and every team.
- Our Vision
Building a Culture Where Mental Health Comes First
We envision a sports community where mental health literacy is woven into every level—from locker rooms to living rooms. A future where coaches, parents, and athletes are equipped to foster resilience, create connection, and support well-being on and off the field.
- How It Works
One Hour. One Course.
Three Clear Actions.
At Connect Sport, mental health literacy is made practical, approachable, and action-oriented. Through a one-hour course designed for coaches or parents, we equip the sport community to support youth mental health with confidence.
Each course is built around three simple but powerful objectives:
- Identify Signs of Struggle
- Model Supportive Behaviour
- Link youth to the help they need.
It’s training you can use immediately—and it’s designed to create lasting impact on and off the field.
- Who We Are
The People, Purpose, and Passion Behind Connect Sport
Connect Sport is more than a course. It’s a movement built by people who care deeply about mental health in sport. Our story began with a vision for change, and today, our team and charitable mission continue to drive that purpose forward.

What People Think About Us
Testimonials from coaches, organizations and parents about Connect Sport and what we do.
Kent
Parent, LLoydminster
Real life feel to mental health.
This program acts as a short but important reminder of key indicators of what a mental health situation looks like.
This program brought a real life feel to mental health and the stigmas around it. It made you look at the questions from another perspective. We all feel or deal with mental health in some way in our lives, and this program reminds us of our role as supporter and patient of mental health and how we can get help before it negatively affects our lives or someone else’s around us.

Coach, Calgary Northstars
Connect Sport was an enlightening experience.
This platform offered valuable tools that better equipped my staff to better support the mental health challenges of our players.
Rohit Sharma
Coach
Arming our coaching staffs with better tools to support mental health literacy has been a great investment into their development to become better coaches far more valuable than any X’s and O’s training would have. We will continue to work directly with Connect Sport as more support is needed in this area in sport.

Part of a much needed shift.
Connect Sport has been a huge part of a much needed shift in the mental health support of our athletes during the 2022/23 season. We currently host 12 minor hockey programs within CNHA with 220 players and 50 coaches. Following our Connect Sport Coaches on boarding I received calls from a large number of our coaching staffs thanking us for this resource. I have also had a member for each of our staff outline at least one instance where Connect Sport training has helped with better Connect and support an athlete on their team this season.
