Such an important issue, and one close to my heart. After spending my career supporting family caregivers, and being a family caregiver myself. And having both roles overlap for many years.
Let's highlight the exceptional work of the 6 partner organizations of Bell Let's Talk 2025. Thank you for supporting youth mental health every day. You are part of the solution. ๐

Talk is a start. And must be followed by more mental health resources for struggling youth. ASAP. The wait lists for free & affordable counselling are discouraging & a huge obstacle to restoration of health. They may even make the difference between life & death.
Talk is a good start, but real change needs to go further. There's a lack of available & timely services for youth with mental health challenges. Especially if they're struggling but don't meet the criteria for "crisis" services. More is needed, yesterday!
Today, we stand with those working to create positive conversations around mental health. ๐
Join us and #BellLetsTalk in of support youth mental health and helping create real change.

Just don't "suffer in silence." Please. No one should have to, & there's no need to. Everyone needs & deserves a listening ear, validation & lifting up sometimes. We all do.

Changing the narrative requires systemic change. Itโs about shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding & support. ~ International Association for Suicide Prevention
Good news! We needed this 10-15 yrs ago but better late than even later or never. More slow rehab is definitely needed for older adults. Most rehab programs have targets that are unrealistic for patients w/ complex issues. Their criteria exclude some seniors w/ rehab potential โน๏ธ
