Investing in Canadian mental health

Since Bell Let’s Talk began in 2010, together we’ve created the world’s largest conversation about mental health.
As a result, Canadian organizations large and small in every region have received new funding from Bell Let’s Talk and from governments and corporations that have joined the cause.
Let’s all keep talking and taking action to create real change for mental health in Canada.

Meet some of the organizations creating real change.

Bell Let’s Talk funding supports organizations large and small in communities nationwide. Since 2010 we have partnered with more than 1,500 organizations providing mental health supports and services throughout Canada, including hospitals, universities, local community service providers and other care and research organizations.
