January 29, 2020 is the 10th anniversary of Bell Let’s Talk Day, and CMHA is joining in to help create positive change.
One in five Canadians will experience a mental health issue or mental illness in any given year. But we all have mental health that we need to look after. All five in five of us.
For 10 years, Canadians and people around the globe have joined in the world’s largest conversation around mental health on Bell Let’s Talk Day. Together we have taken big steps to reduce stigma and normalize conversations about mental health.
In fact, a recent survey conducted by Nielsen Consumer Insights found that in 2019, 84% of Canadians said they are comfortable speaking with others about mental health, compared to only 42% in 2012.
This year, we’re proud to share that CMHA has been named one of eight outstanding Mental Health organizations that are making a difference in Canada. You can learn more here.
When it comes to mental health, every action counts.
For Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell Canada will donate five cents to mental health initiatives for every use of their hashtag #BellLetsTalk on Twitter, each view of their official video on Instagram, use of their social media frames and filters on Facebook and Snapchat, and every text and call made on their networks.
Although we’ve made great strides, there is still work to be done to ensure all Canadians get the mental health support they need. This year, on Bell Let’s Talk Day, everyone is encouraged to share the actions, large and small, that they are taking to improve mental health in Canada.
Join us in this nationwide conversation about mental health.
