At Waterloo, workplace mental health is extremely important to us. On January 30th the Healthy Workplace Committee would like to invite you to participate in Bell Let’s Talk Day activities, which promote mental health awareness. Bell Let’s Talk aims to reduce stigma and encourage people to start conversations about mental health.           

On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell will donate 5¢ for:

  • Every text message sent by Bell Canada, Bell Aliant and Bell MTS customers
  • Every mobile and long distance call made by Bell Canada, Bell Aliant and Bell MTS customers
  • Each use of the hashtag #BellLetsTalk on Twitter
  • Each view of the Bell Let’s Talk Day video
  • Each use of the Bell Let’s Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat filter

Waterloo Speech Bubble Campaign

For Bell Let’s Talk Day, we invite you to take part in a campus-wide awareness campaign by capturing your thoughts on “Speech Bubbles ” about what mental health means to you. Build awareness by posting the bubbles in your work area.

You can download the “speech bubbles” template, or contact Occupational Health for a supply to be sent to you.

After January 30th take a picture of your bubbles and send them to Occupational Health so we can create a campus collage.

Check out other ideas/activities to raise awareness.

Remember, at Waterloo, workplace mental health is extremely important to us. If at any time, you feel you need support, you can use the Employee Family Assistance Program. Contact them at 1-800-663-1142 or visit Occupational Health.

In addition to the above, please note the Peer Health Education Group will be hosting a Jack.org talk on the evening of January 30th from 7 – 8 pm in the SLC. Please encourage students to attend this valuable conversation.
