Bell Let’s Talk Day 2024

Bell Let’s Talk Day is Wednesday, January 24. We are joining in and committing to take meaningful action to create real change in mental health.

Since 2011, Canadians and people around the globe have joined in the world’s largest conversation around mental health on Bell Let’s Talk Day. Together we have taken big steps to reduce the stigma around mental health issues, inspire one another to take action, and help create a Canada where everyone can access the mental health support they need. But it is clear more needs to be done. Real change is needed.

At CMHA Muskoka Parry Sound we have made sure we are present in our communities to make sure everyone knows how to reach out for help. Anyone and everyone can call or show up to one of our offices to talk to a counsellor about a mental health or addiction problem.  No appointment necessary!  Or call the Crisis hotline any time, any day. 1-888-893-8333.

Let’s create real change. Take action all year long.

Bell Let’s Talk Day marks the start of a new year to take action in mental health. We can all create real change by doing one or more of the following:

Share your actions using #BellLetsTalk and help inspire others.

Let’s kick off a year of action together and show support for all those who live with mental illness. Together, we can create a Canada where everyone can get the mental health support they need.
