Q: What is the goal of the Bell Let’s Talk Photobooths?

A: The photobooths will feature Bell Let’s Talk empty speech bubbles in which students to write a personal message about Mental Health. Students can write their own message or answer questions and prompts provided by the volunteer running the booth (Examples: What does mental health mean to you? What words of encouragement would you offer for those struggling with their mental health?)

Q: What can students do with their photo?

A: Share it! On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell will donate more towards mental health initiatives in Canada by contributing 5¢ for every applicable text, call, tweet, social media video view and use of our Facebook frame or Snapchat filter.
