Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day! Join in and take a moment for mental health

MONTRÉAL – Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day, and everyone is invited to take a moment for mental health. This year’s theme encourages Canadians to pause, reflect, and prioritize mental health – by checking in with themselves, reaching out to others, or participating in community activities that help create real change. Moments spent doing breathing exercises, spending time in nature, digital detoxing or expressing gratitude are examples of small actions that can help build resilience, reduce stress and anxiety, foster social connection, improve mood and much more.

“Thank you to the millions of Canadians who continue to support mental health on Bell Let’s Talk Day and throughout the year. Taking a moment for mental health reminds us that small actions can have a big impact. Whether you pause to check in with yourself or reach out to someone around you, every moment matters. Together, let’s keep making a difference – one moment at a time,” said Mirko Bibic, President and CEO of Bell Canada and BCE

“In our 16th year, Bell Let’s Talk Day continues to be Canada’s national day for mental health. Today, we’re asking Canadians to take a moment for mental health – a moment to care for themselves, reach out to someone who may be struggling, and recognize the vital work being done in communities across the country. Taking a moment isn’t a substitute for a diagnosis, treatment plan or medication, but it is a simple and practical thing we can all do to support our own mental wellbeing,” said Mary Deacon, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk

To mark the 16th edition of Bell Let’s Talk Day, Canadians are invited to participate in a variety of immersive experiences being activated in communities across Canada, such as:

Phone installations at CF Carrefour Laval, CF Toronto Eaton Centre, CF Pacific Centre in Vancouver, CF Chinook Centre in Calgary, West Edmonton Mall and CF Rideau Centre in Ottawa that will invite people passing by to pick up the receiver for a quick conversation about their mental health.

Dog therapy sessions with St. John Ambulance Nova Scotia and PEI, taking place at Dartmouth Senior Services Centre, with the Winnipeg Humane Society hosting sessions at Riverview Health Centre.

In Toronto, Canadian musical artist Jamie Fine will bring people together with a pop-up concert in the parking lot at Bell Media studios (299 Queen Street West) at 4 p.m. ET, courtesy of Universal Music.
In 2026, Bell is giving $10 million towards Canadian mental health, bringing its total Bell Let’s Talk investment to $194 million since 2010.
