Bell’s support of mental health will have a strong and lasting impact.
Don’t forget it’s Bell Let’s Talk Day – Let’s talk! RT this or tweet with #BellLetsTalk today and we’ll donate 5¢ to mental health programs. http://tw.letstalk.bell.ca/
In 2010, Bell announced the launch of an unprecedented multi-year charitable program dedicated to the promotion and support of mental health across Canada. Over the next several years, this multi-million dollar initiative will support a wide range of programs that will enhance awareness, understanding and treatment of mental illness and promote access to care and research across the country.
Often invisible, mental illness is one of the most pervasive health issues in the country with far-reaching consequences for every Canadian. One in five people will experience a form of mental illness at some point and most will be reluctant to talk to a co-worker, friend or family member about their struggle, let alone seek treatment. While you may never experience mental illness first-hand, it is likely that you know someone who will.
With more than 60,000 team members in Canada, Bell has taken the initiative to address mental illness in the workplace and at home, helping to make our communities healthier and more productive.
Bell is introducing an extensive array of initiatives to support anti-stigma, increased access to care, additional research and the creation of an overall culture of mental health support across the Canadian business landscape.
For more information on how Bell will be supporting community organisations and if you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email mentalhealth@bell.ca.
