MONTRÉAL, Jan. 23, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - As we count down to Bell Let's Talk Day next Wednesday January 30, we thank the hundreds of organizations across Canada that are generously providing their
support to get the word out about what will be the biggest conversation about mental health in the world.
"Everyone's engagement in mental health is crucial to making progress, and we can all join the conversation on Bell Let's Talk
Day by sending messages of support to fight the stigma, call for action and directly drive Bell's funding for mental health
programs. We're grateful to these leading organizations for encouraging everyone to get engaged in the mental health cause and
make sure our voices are heard on what promises to be the biggest Bell Let's Talk Day ever," said Mary
Deacon, Chair of Bell Let's Talk.
The list of organizations involved in promoting mental health and the Bell Let's Talk Day campaign keeps growing every year.
More than 200 Canadian universities and colleges are holding campus and athletic events this year to promote mental
health programs. Other institutions and organizations nationwide – including content creators and media organizations,
festivals, social media platforms, government and military, unions, sports teams and athletic organizations, associations,
corporations and competitors – are all lending their voices and platforms to the cause.
Bell Let's Talk offers sincere appreciation to all these organizations for their support:
