Description

This month marks a very important day for mental health. Since 2010, Bell Let’s Talk Day has raised over $90 million for mental health initiatives, and has done so by donating 5¢ from every call, text, or social media use (using a Snapchat filter, Facebook frame, or viewing the social media video) to mental health initiatives. In the last nine years, the Bell Let’s Talk movement has been successful in spreading mental health awareness, promoting research and education, and reducing negative stigma.

This year, January 30th marks the 2019 Bell Let’s Talk Day, so let’s come together and support some of the Tri-Cities’ most vulnerable!
On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Staff, Members, and Board from New View Society will be hosting booth at:

• 10am-4pm: “Event Central” in the fashion wing at the Coquitlam Centre Mall, Coquitlam.

In addition to New View’s own resources, Bell Let’s Talk has developed a toolkit system on their website, accessible at https://letstalk.bell.ca/en/toolkit. You can find all sorts of accesses to educational links, professional resources, and 24/7 help.
 
A little bit about New View Society…
Founded in 1973, the New View Society creates an environment for growth and recovery for people with mental illness in the Tri-Cities, through Housing, Employment, and Social Recreation programs. New View Society’s services are recovery focused and based on the philosophy of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, which puts the individual (not the illness) at the center of their recovery.
