We want to know what #youth 12-17 think about these issues! Please take & pass along our survey to bring youth voices into this critical conversation #bioethics #ethics
Please RT! 😀

I opened #BellLetsTalk Day with a conversation with George Lagogianes (@CP24) about stigma, progress & hope. This is the 12th annual day - but, with the pandemic and so much stress, it seems more important this year. @CAMHnews https://t.co/pSOOwhc7pe

[CAMH @CAMHnews]

It’s time we said no more discrimination, no more ignorance, and no more funding gaps. It’s time for every Canadian to rally together to ensure mental illness gets the same priority as any other illness. #MentalHealthIsHealth #BellLetsTalk

[CAMH @CAMHnews]

Mental illness and addiction affects a sizable portion of the population. A reminder that you do not have to face this battle alone. #BellLetsTalk
