It is a day for talking about something that makes many people uncomfortable. And as <a href=\"http:\/\/j.mp\/1eyuqyT\" target=\"_blank\">I have written for the past few years<\/a>, we need to talk even more. Public perception\u00a0is the leading reason that most\u00a0of those living with a mental illness do not seek help.\u00a0Bell&#8217;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<p>This year&#8217;s ad campaign again highlights the need to watch the way we talk. The <a href=\"http:\/\/j.mp\/1fogrke\" target=\"_blank\">Bell Let&#8217;s Talk website<\/a> suggests 5 ways to help <a href=\"http:\/\/j.mp\/1fogrke\" target=\"_blank\">end the stigma<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Language Matters<\/strong>: Words can help\u2026but they can also hurt. Pay attention to the words you use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Educate Yourself<\/strong>: Learn the facts and myths about mental illness. Be knowledgeable and help fight stigma with facts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Kind<\/strong>: Small acts of kindness speak volumes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Listen and Ask<\/strong>: Sometimes it\u2019s best to just listen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk About It<\/strong>: Start a dialogue, not a debate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year, Bell Let&#8217;s Talk day is on January 27 &#8211; this Wednesday.
