Pause and Reframe

Last year, I expressed my concerns towards the Bell Lets Talk Campaign and how I did not believe Bell was doing enough to support mental health. This year I want to use my platform to talk about the positive changes Bell has made.

In 2021, Bell increased funding for its employees to $3000 a year for psychological services.

Secondly, they’ve diverted some of the funding from Bell Let’s Talk day towards creating grants for universities to implement initiatives for mental health services.

To date, Bell Let’s Talk has raised over $121,000,000 committed to mental health.

They’ve provided 888 community fund grants and partnered with more than 1,300 organizations who have supported over 5 million Canadians with access to mental health services.

Although there is always more we can do with regards to mental health, Bell Let’s Talk appears to be utilizing their funds to positively impact not only their work environment, but communities as well.
