Let’s create real change with Bell Let’s Talk Day
Bell Let’s Talk Day is the world’s largest conversation to make strides towards better mental health in our country. Northwestel is proud to take part in supporting mental health in the north and is a longtime partner with many mental health organizations, such as CMHA Yukon, Nunavut Embrace Life Council, and the Northern Mosaic Network. This year’s theme is to create real change in the lives of Canadians by making sure everyone receives the mental health support they need!

Inspire real change
Bell Let’s Talk Day marks the start of a new year to take action in mental health all year round. We can all create real change by doing one or more of the following:
- Choose a mental health organization to learn about or support.
- Help a friend struggling with their mental health by learning how to support them.
- Ask about how your school, workplace or community is creating change for mental health.
- Nurture your own well-being by practicing and learning mental health strategies.
- Get involved in a mental health initiative or organize an event to support mental health.
- Engage in conversations about mental health to fight stigma.
Share your actions using #BellLetsTalk and help inspire others.
