BOSTON – The Boston Bruins will host Mental Health Awareness Night, presented by Mass General Brigham, on Tuesday, January 14, during their home game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7 p.m. at TD Garden.
During the game, the Bruins will recognize Dr. Katherine Koh as the Community All-Star, presented by Massachusetts State Lottery. Koh is a street psychiatrist with the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where she provides critical mental health care to individuals living in public spaces. Recognized as a national leader in street psychiatry, Dr. Koh’s work serves as a pioneering model for delivering mental health services to those experiencing homelessness and facilitating their transition into stable housing.
Representatives from Shoulder Check, an initiative that aims to inspire people to commit to supporting one another through small acts, will be tabling on the concourse behind Loge 20 throughout the game. At the Shoulder Check table, fans will find "I Check On" cards, where they can share why they prioritize checking in on the mental well-being of their loved ones.
