Bell Let’s Talk Day

From time to time I will actually talk about stuff that matters (it’s rare but it does happen)

In that light today is BELL LETS TALK DAY.  Bellwill donate 5 cents for every text, mobile call, and long distance call by Bell and Bell Aliant customers, every tweet using #BellLetsTalk, and every Facebook share of the Bell Let’s Talk Day image. Bell’s donations are made at no extra charge to Bell Let’s Talk Day participants.

Hey Canada, let’s talk! I really hope you can join in the conversation about mental health and make a real difference in the lives of so many Canadians, today and into the future.  While 20% of Canadians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, 2 in 3 suffer in silence because of the continuing stigma. You can help people get the support they need by talking openly and positively about mental health – while increasing Bell’s donations to the cause at no extra charge to you.”

Clara Hughes – Canada’s six-time Olympic medalist and national Bell Let’s Talk spokesperson.

The mental health piece is a very important issue with me these days.  It’s time to end the stigma about mental illness and help those in need by opening your hearts and minds. Let’s face it, no one is immune to depression.  So if you are going to tweet today please be sure to use the #BellLetsTalk
