COVID-19 has led to one of the most isolating years in history. Despite the unprecedented levels of stress and loneliness, there is still a stigma around reachi...ng out for help. The truth is sometimes it can simply help to hear you aren't alone - that's why we fund local organizations like Children's Centre Thunder Bay, Elizabeth Fry Society of North Western Ontario, and Thunder Bay Counselling that offer FREE, accessible services for everyone. Bell Let's Talk Day is just another great way to join in and end the mental health stigma. #BellLetsTalk #mentalhealth See more
