When it comes to mental health, now more than ever, every action counts!
Earlier this month Bell kicked off the campaign to mark it’s11th annual Bell Let’s Talk Day, and hope you’ll join in this important conversation about mental health.

The theme of the 2021 campaign is: When it comes to mental health, now more than ever, every action counts. As we are all facing difficult times together and demand for mental health support has increased during the COVID-19 crisis, we can collectively take action to support everyone’s mental health this Bell Let’s Talk Day.

Bell surpassed more than 1.1 billion messages of support for mental health bringing the total commitment to $113,415,135, which includes the original $50 million anchor donation when Bell Let’s Talk launched in 2010, as well as the additional $5 million committed in response to the COVID-19 crisis. You’re invited to join in on January 28, 2021.

On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell will donate more towards mental health initiatives in Canada by contributing 5¢ for every applicable text, call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, social media video view and use of our Facebook frame or Snapchat filter.

Now more than ever, mental health matters. With your support, Bell hopes to take the mental health conversation to new heights.
