As the Bell Let’s Talk 2024 campaign launches, we are taking this opportunity to educate Canadians about the mental health impact of the genocide taking place in Gaza, to encourage Canadians to take action, & to provide tools to support those of us who are directly impacted by it
Same #Bell that owns CTV and has been avoiding using facts in reporting and avoiding “Palestine”. Also fired Yara Jamal for showing support to Palestine and Palestinians (her family) during (what is being investigated as) a genocide.
Mental health a gimmick?
The Trudeau govt gave $40 million to Bell without a jobs guarantee.
Bell fired 9% of its workforce, closed newsrooms, and lined the pockets of its stakeholders.
We have to confront corporate greed in this country.
Not bankroll it like the Liberals and Conservatives are.

Witnessing an atrocious genocide occur in real time, while global governments stamp their seal of approval and gaslight the victims, their families and all those seeing reality; 1/3
creates a physiological distress in us know as, vicarious trauma. This trauma we are experiencing together is called collective trauma. It is experienced as a group and etched into our collective memory, becoming a piece of us psychologically, socially and physiologically. 2/3
People in Gaza keep witnessing death every single day. And yet, nobody cares enough for their mental health while in #Canada they would consider a light slap to a kid’s face as a childhood trauma #LetsTalkGenocide#BellLetsTalk
BellLetsTalk’s campaign is encouraging us all to “create real change” and prioritize our mental health. Do they not know that we are experiencing a genocide taking place, live streamed on our phones. Do they not know what the impacts of war is on your mental health? 1/3
Do they not know what the impacts of war is on your mental health? What about constant war?
@Berak_Hussain is urging us all to consider the Gaza genocide and create real change by learning about and ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian people 3/3 #BellLetsTalkDay
In 2018, Save the Children researched the impact that living under a 15 year blockade and protracted instability and cyclical violence has had on children’s psychosocial wellbeing in Gaza. 1/3
In 2022, after another escalation in violence in May 2021 and following the COVID-19 pandemic, Save the Children consulted a further 488 children and 160 parents and caregivers to see how things had changed for children living in the Gaza Strip. 2/3
