2021 Bell Let’s Talk Day<\/h2>\n

Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day is Thursday, January 28th and we\u2019re joining in to help drive progress in mental health.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 has affected every aspect of our lives, including our mental health. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 38% of Canadians say their mental health has declined due to COVID-19, and people already struggling with their mental health were 2 times more likely to say their mental health has declined due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Since 2010, Canadians and people around the globe have joined in the world\u2019s largest conversation around mental health on Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day. Together we have taken big steps to reduce the stigma around mental health issues and inspire one another to take action and help create a Canada where everyone can access the mental health support they need. In a recent survey conducted by Nielsen Consumer Insights, 83% of Canadians now say they are comfortable speaking with others about mental health, compared to only 42% in 2012. By joining in and taking action, we are all helping to make a real difference.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day campaign shines a light on the actions that we can all take, because now more than ever, mental health matters. Whether you\u2019re staying virtually connected with a family member, working directly with patients in recovery, investing in access to care or even just taking care of your own mental health, every Canadian can play a part in their communities, workplaces, schools and at home.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re joining in the 11th annual Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day to help create positive change.<\/p>\n

When it comes to mental health, now more than ever, every action counts.<\/h3>\n

On Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day, Bell donates 5 cents to Canadian mental health programs for every applicable text, local or long-distance call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, every Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube view of the Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day video, and every use of the Bell Let\u2019s Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat filter. All at no cost to participants beyond what they would normally pay their service provider for online or phone access.<\/p>\n
