Since 2010, Bell has been working to help increase awareness about mental health and mental illness with the company’s Bell Let's Talk Day on Jan. 26.
On this date, for every applicable text, local or long-distance call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, Bell donates 5 cents to Canadian mental health programs. Bell will also donate 5 cents for every Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube view of the Bell Let's Talk Day video, and every use of the Bell Let's Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat lens. Participants do not pay anything beyond what they would normally pay their service provider for online or phone access.
