If you’re on social media, you probably heard about Bell Let’s Talk day yesterday. Thankfully, so many of us did – because this year a whopping $6.1 million was raised for mental health initiatives!
This campaign was launched by Bell in 2010. Yesterday, for every tweet with #BellLetsTalk, Facebook post share, text or long distance call, Bell donated 5 cents to various organizations across the country (for a list of who they support in Newfoundland and Labrador, please see here). 122,150,772 texts and more later, and that’s a lot of money raised for a great cause!
I know I was happy to share and tweet, and many, many, many of you were, too. Hopefully, we didn’t just raise money, but consciousness as well. Their goal is to end the stigma surrounding mental health in Canada – which we can only do if we talk more openly about it. Days like yesterday are a great start. If you need help, please check these resources and reach out.
Finally, you may have noticed some changes to my website recently, but I’m still planning on sharing as much information as I can about St. John’s real estate and MLS listings on this blog – so please stay tuned!
