MONTREAL – The national awareness campaign leading up to the world's biggest conversation about mental health is underway with just over three weeks until Bell Let's Talk Day 2019 on Wednesday, January 30.
This year’s campaign features 41 Friends of Bell Let's Talk, Canadians from around the country telling their personal stories of living with mental illness and inviting everyone to help drive awareness and action in mental health. Supported by a wide range of Canadian media organizations, the campaign is now appearing nationwide on television networks, radio, social media and out-of-home advertising, as well as in newspapers and on movie screens.
Returning spokespeople include Howie Mandel, Marie-Soleil Dion, Michael Landsberg, Michel Mpambara, Stefie Shock, Mary Walsh and Étienne Boulay, plus community ambassadors Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Mike Babcock, pro golfer Andrew Jensen, comedian Kevin Breel, retired CFL player Shea Emry, singer-songwriter Séan McCann, veteran Bruno Guévremont, comedian Jessica Holmes, musician Florence K and actress Véronique Bannon.
Join the conversation on January 30. Bell will donate 5 cents to Canadian mental health programs for each of these interactions at no extra cost to participants:
