Bell Aliant, a sister company of BCE will be joining Bell in promoting Mental Health Awareness Day by participating in the Bell Let’s Talk Campaign.
The Bell Let’s Talk Campaign is a newly launched annual initiative at promoting Mental Health awareness and the effects it has in Canada’s home, workplace and school. Very often a lot of people don’t want like to talk about mental health even though it affects 1 in 5 Canadians. In fact, according to a poll completed by the Canadian Mental Health Association, only 50% of Canadians would tell someone else if they had a mental illness whereas 70% would tell another person if they were diagnosed with Cancer.
Bell hopes to promote the awareness of Mental Health by starting a conversation through its newest charitable campaign.
On February 9, 2011, Bell will donate 5 cents for every long distance call and text messages its customers make on that day to support mental health related programs across the country. It is part of a $50 million initiative Bell has for the mental health community over the next 5 years.
