#BellLetsTalk

So. This hashtag is trending on twitter. The reason for it is this: It's Bell Let's Talk Day! That means Bell, a phone company (communications company?) in Canada, is donating money for mental health. "The Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund is part of the Bell Let’s Talk Mental Health Initiative. Through the Community Fund, Bell will provide grants in the range of $5,000 to $50,000 to organizations in Canada focused on improving access to programs and services that support and help improve the mental health and wellbeing of people living with mental health issues." 5 cents are donated for every tweet and retweet using the aforementioned hashtag. How amazing is that? Mental health is so incredibly important. It needs to be talked about more and it needs to be taken care of. I'm so glad there are people willing to spread awareness and aid such a worthy cause. Because this consistently gets swept under a rug and belittled until it's too late. And we are provided with the opportunity to do something so simple and help.
