Bell Let’s Talk campaign at Nipissing

Nipissing University is partnering with Canadore College and Jack.org for the Bell Let's Talk campaign on Wednesday, January 28, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Education Centre Hallway.  The partnership is aiming to start a conversation that will end stigmas surrounding mental health.

Did you know that one in five Canadians experience mental illness at some point in their lives?

Bell Let's Talk is a wide-reaching, multi-year program designed to break the silence around mental illness and support mental health all across Canada.

Students will have a chance to win prizes including a Lakers Prize Pack from Nipissing and Jack.org by retweeting "You're more than a body in lecture. Student Development & Services (B210) has your back. We're having the conversation. #BellLetsTalk."

This year’s Bell Let’s Talk’s campaign focuses on five simple ways we can all help end the stigma around mental illness:

• Language matters
• Educate yourself
• Be kind
• Listen and ask
• Talk about it

Join the conversation because talking is the first step towards change.
