On Jan. 22 FIREFLY staff honoured #BellLetsTalk Day. Staff shared how they would better their own mental health or the mental health of those around them through a video shared on social media.

You can help support youth mental health by texting “YOUTH” to 45678 to donate $5. Bell will match up to $1M in donations. This year Bell is focusing on youth mental health after a report released in October by the Mental Health Research Canada and Bell Let’s Talk found:

• 1.25M young people need help in Canada
• 1 in 2 young people in Canada said they aren’t getting the help they need
• 1 in 4 young people in Canada have considered suicide.

Bell has already committed $10M to mental health and money raised from its first ever text-to-donate campaign will support six youth mental health organizations – Kids Help Phone, Jack.org, Youth in Mind Foundation, Strongest Families Institute, Integrated Youth Services, and National Association of Friendship Centres.
