Bell Lets Talk Day

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention something outside of the HP world for a moment that's near and dear to my heart.

Today is #BellLetsTalk Day up here in Canada.

What's that, you ask? 

Bell Let's Talk Day is all about promoting awareness and reducing the stigma around mental illness by engaging in an open discussion around it. 

Today, for every tweet with the hashtag #BellLetsTalk (as well as other social media-related efforts), 5¢ will be donated towards mental health initiatives in Canada. As well, if you watch THIS short video (with Michael Buble!), another 5¢ will be donated (this same video is also on our HP Facebook Page, so you can watch it there too!).

And guess what! You don't have to be Canadian to do this!!

To date, Bell has raised over $113 million since 2010 for mental health initiatives! 

Please take a moment to send a tweet using the hashtag! Watch the video!

For more information, as well as mental health resources, check out THIS website.

With all of the stress of the past year especially, more and more people are struggling with their mental health, and it's important to end the stigma around talking about it. It's also important for mental health to always be a part of the conversation, not just today!

Here on HP, we even have our own Mental Health Check-In in the forums, started by the lovely Saturnia, if you need to talk about how you're feeling but don't feel you can with the people outside your computer. 

Join the conversation.
