I grew up on the grounds of a children’s psychiatric research institute in London, Ontario, the son of a child psychiatrist.<\/p>\n

Two of my siblings are in the “family business”.<\/p>\n

So, I was really taken with Bell’s announcement<\/a> last week that it has launched a 5 year, $50 million initiative to support mental health across Canada, with Canada’s Olympic hero, Clara Hughes, acting as spokesperson for a national Let’s Talk<\/em> campaign.<\/p>\n

Last year, I wrote<\/a> about the longtime association between the telecommunications sector and community service; much good work is being done by the companies and individuals working in our industry. Indeed, this year’s Telecom Hall of Fame<\/a> ceremony will recognize<\/a> the work of the Telecom Pioneers of Canada, preparing to celebrate the milestone of\u00a0a century of community service work.<\/p>\n

Bell’s multi-year commitment to support mental health is especially important in many ways. Mental health isn’t something people like to talk about; one of the four pillars of Bell’s Mental Health Initiative deals with Anti-stigma<\/a>. Public perception\u00a0is the leading reason that most\u00a0of those living with a mental illness do not seek help.\u00a0Bell’s willingness to have its brand associated with helping Canadians deal with mental illness is a brave and bold statement to open the national conversation about mental health.<\/p>\n

For me, I took a special interest in this announcement. Maybe I liked seeing such an important player in my business – telecommunications – take an active interest in my family’s main line of work – mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
