MONTRÉAL, Jan. 23,
2025 /CNW/ - Bell Let's Talk Day 2025 put a spotlight
on Canada's youth mental health crisis by featuring six mental
health organizations that are working every day to provide mental
health supports and services to address the growing crisis.
Canadians across the country joined the conversation and took
action to support six youth mental health organizations: Integrated
Youth Services, Jack.org, Kids Help Phone, National Association of
Friendship Centres, Strongest Families Institute, and Youth In Mind
Foundation.
"I'd like to thank everyone for taking part in Bell Let's Talk
Day and for showing their support for youth mental health by
participating in our first text-to-donate campaign. Together with
Canadians on Bell Let's Talk Day, we contributed $ 1,605,770
to six youth mental health organizations. We are making progress in
mental health but more needs to be done in our communities across
the country. Everyone deserves quick and easy access to mental
health supports and services where they live. I encourage everyone
to continue to take meaningful action throughout the year."
- Mary
Deacon, Chair of Bell Let's Talk
