UnitedHealthcare is the presenting sponsor of Hockey Day Minnesota

We’re proud to support the hockey community and celebrate the love of the game together at this exciting event. As we gather, it’s also a good time to shine a light on youth mental health resources — because getting support when you need it matters to all of us.

Mental health support for parents and youth

Many people face mental health struggles. How you feel matters. And how you learn to cope matters too. If you’re a parent, protecting your child's mental health — as well as your own — may be one of the most important things you can do. These resources can help parents and teens get guidance and support.

Conversation starters for teens

Starting mental health conversations with honesty and empathy may encourage your child to open up. Try these conversation starter ideas — it may make it easier to connect with your teen and talk about what matters.
