Bell Let’s Talk Day has become the world’s largest conversation about mental health, encouraging Canadians and people around the globe to take action to help reduce the stigma.
This year, the campaign highlights the progress that has been made and discusses what still needs to be done to support those with mental health challenges, including ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s youth who are facing a growing mental health crisis.
When it comes to construction, it’s no secret the industry is facing an unprecedented labour shortage. More and more initiatives are underway to not only encourage youth to learn and try the skilled trades but to also make it an inclusive space for all, where mental health and wellness can be at the forefront.
Each year the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce compile a list of articles to complement the Bell Let’s Talk Day efforts. This year is no exception as we highlight some of our coverage from the past year and showcase what the industry is doing to help.
Today, Jan. 22, Canadians can donate $5 by text with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to six youth mental health providers: Integrated Youth Services, Jack.org, Kids Help Phone, the National Association of Friendship Centres, the Strongest Families Institute and Youth In Mind Foundation.
