Bell Let's Talk Day 2025 to Prioritize Youth Mental Health as Young Canadians Face Growing Crisis

A new comprehensive national report was released on October 10, 2024 by Mental Health Research Canada (MHRC) which shows there is a growing mental health crisis among young Canadians. Bell announced it will prioritize youth mental health on Bell Let's Talk Day and will launch a text-to-donate campaign with 100% of the funds raised going to six youth mental health providers: Integrated Youth Services, Jack.org, Kids Help Phone, National Association of Friendship Centres, Strongest Families Institute and Youth In Mind Foundation.

On Bell Let's Talk Day, Canadians can give $5 by text with Bell matching all donations up to a total of $1 million, as part of Bell's $10 million mental health commitment in 2025.

Bell has created a toolkit  that includes stickers, posters and activities to share with your family, friends and colleagues to help start the conversation and show your support.
