Today is Bell let’s talk day in Canada. It was a movement started in 2010 by the phone/TV company Bell. It was started to raise awareness, start conversations and end the stigma surrounding mental health. On this day many people share their victories and struggles with mental health. Every time the hashtag BellLetsTalk is used on facebook, twitter, Snapchat ect. Bell donates money to mental health programs across the nation. Thus far over 85 million dollars have been raised!
Mental health is the single most important thing in my life leading me to join a suicide prevention team a few months ago. If you ever find yourself in a tough place and need someone to talk to, know that I’m here. Even if you don’t know me I can always be a person to listen.
Today you have a good reason to go on social media, please use the hashtag #BellLetsTalk as many times as possible!! Hashtag away!
