See how Bell is supporting mental health
Bell's support of mental health will have a strong and lasting impact.
In 2010, Bell announced the launch of an unprecedented multi-year charitable program dedicated to the promotion and support of mental health across Canada. Over the next several years, this multi-million dollar initiative will support a wide range of programs that will enhance awareness, understanding and treatment of mental illness and promote access to care and research across the country.
Often invisible, mental illness is one of the most pervasive health issues in the country with far-reaching consequences for every Canadian. One in five people will experience a form of mental illness at some point and most will be reluctant to talk to a co-worker, friend or family member about their struggle, let alone seek treatment. While you may never experience mental illness first-hand, it is likely that you know someone who will.
With more than 60,000 team members in Canada, Bell has taken the initiative to address mental illness in the workplace and at home, helping to make our communities healthier and more productive.
Bell is introducing an extensive array of initiatives to support anti-stigma, increased access to care, additional research and the creation of an overall culture of mental health support across the Canadian business landscape.
For more information on how Bell will be supporting community organisations and if you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email mentalhealth@bell.ca.
Stigma compounds suffering
One of the biggest hurdles to overcome for anyone facing mental illness is the stigma associated with it. It is the leading reason two-thirds of all of those living with a mental illness do not seek help.
To drive progress in reducing stigma, a new campaign called Bell Let’s Talk is opening the national conversation about mental illness and its dramatic impact in all parts of the country. Stepping forward as Bell’s spokesperson for Bell Let’s Talk Day and our campaign to effect change is six-time Olympic medalist Clara Hughes. As a community leader and philanthropist who has come to know and inspire Canadians, Clara has seen the impact of mental illness and understands how important it is to get people talking about it around kitchen and boardroom tables.
Joining Clara as spokespeople for Bell Let’s Talk Day and to help grow the dialogue on mental health this year are composer and performer Stefie Shock and actor-comedian Michel Mpambara.
On February 8, 2012, Bell will lead the conversation to reduce stigma with the launch of Bell Let’s Talk Day – a national campaign which will raise awareness about mental health across Canada each year. For every text message and long distance call made by Bell customers that day, Bell will contribute 5¢ to programs dedicated to mental health.
Enhancing access to care
Just one-third of those who need mental health related services in Canada will receive treatment, often due to the stigma associated with mental illness or because they simply do not have access to programs in their community. Helping provide Canadians with care when and where they need it, Bell will support a variety of programs offered by grassroots agencies and local hospitals, as well as best-in-class research and treatment facilities.
To this end Bell has reached agreements with several leading health care institutions across the country including:
- $1 million to the Royal Ottawa Hospital Foundation to expand its Telepsychiatry Program benefiting rural, northern and remote communities
- $1 million to Montréal’s Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital Foundation to support innovative research and a new mental health biobank
- $10 million to CAMH Foundation (the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health), to take the world-leading institution past its landmark $100 million fundraising goal
- $300,000 to the Fondation Hôpital Charles-Lemoyne for its adolescent psychiatric unit
- $250,000 to the Streetohome Foundation to provide support to homeless or at-risk youth living with mental health issues and addictions in BC
Our $1-million Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund launched in 2011 with a focus on improving access to care in local communities. 49 grants to organizations supporting mental health in Canada were awarded in 2011.
Bell leading by example
Mental health is the leading cause of workplace disability in Canada and represents 15% of Canada's burden of disease. As a leading employer, Bell is committed to working with corporate Canada and the health care community to develop and adopt mental health best practices in the workplace.
At Bell, this includes enhanced and easy access to mental health information for Bell team members, including seminars and other learning events throughout the year, and advanced return-to-work programs.
All Bell senior leaders and managers are taking part in new training and information programs. Bell is participating in corporate roundtables and other initiatives to support the creation of an overall culture of mental health support across the Canadian business landscape.
Supporting best in class
Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in Canada, accounting for 30% of disability claims and representing 70% of the total costs. Yet only 5.5% of our healthcare dollars in Canada are dedicated to mental illness.
Around the world, hundreds of millions of people are affected by mental illness. It is expected that by 2020 it will be the leading cause of disability on the planet. But without adequate funding, the groundbreaking research that is needed to find cures and explore treatment options won't happen.
Bell is supporting research into understanding and treatment with investments in best-in-class research programs at hospitals, universities and other institutions across Canada. Bell is also supporting the best researchers with funding of new chairs, fellowships and project grants to be awarded on an invitational basis.
Bell has donated $1 million to the University of British Columbia to establish the Bell Youth Mental Health Impact Project which will allow UBC researchers to conduct mental health outreach to youth in need throughout BC.
Applications for research funding are by invitation only.
