MONTRÉAL, Jan. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Bell Let's Talk Day 2025 put a spotlight on Canada's youth mental health crisis by featuring six mental health organizations that are working every day to provide mental health supports and services to address the growing crisis.

Canadians across the country joined the conversation and took action to support six youth mental health organizations: Integrated Youth Services, Jack.org, Kids Help Phone, National Association of Friendship Centres, Strongest Families Institute, and Youth In Mind Foundation.

"I'd like to thank everyone for taking part in Bell Let's Talk Day and for showing their support for youth mental health by participating in our first text-to-donate campaign. Together with Canadians on Bell Let's Talk Day, we contributed $ 1,605,770 to six youth mental health organizations. We are making progress in mental health but more needs to be done in our communities across the country. Everyone deserves quick and easy access to mental health supports and services where they live. I encourage everyone to continue to take meaningful action throughout the year."
