Mental Health Toolkits

With many institutions continuing with online learning for the winter term, Bell Let's Talk digital toolkits will help you engage students remotely and inspire virtual action on Bell Let’s Talk Day. We also encourage you to leverage the tools to promote your school’s mental health resources.

We have created a Bell Let’s Talk post-secondary landing page to make it easy for you to access the digital toolkit, which includes:

• Bell Let’s Talk virtual photo booth
• Short mental health films for virtual viewing events
• Wellness activities
• Kids Help Phone and Jack.org virtual events and resources focused on student mental health
• Communications materials

Share your virtual activities

We love to see how you bring Bell Let’s Talk to life with your students. We will highlight a few stories in our internal and external communications. Please share your photos by uploading them directly here. Please save each photo with your institution name prior to uploading so we can identify your school.

When taking photos, please ensure you are following COVID-19 safety protocols including the wearing of masks and physical distancing.
