Mental Health Resources
*Updated January 2025

Bell Let's Talk launched in 2010, starting a national conversation about mental health.  Bell Let's Talk is focused on 4 key action pillars: fighting the stigma, improving access to care, supporting world class research, and leading by example in workplace mental health.

Bell Let's Talk is a year round initiative focused on engaging Canadians to take action to create positive change in mental health. 

There is not just one way or one day to take action.
