Bell Let’s Talk – Mental Health

January 24, 2024 is Bell Let’s Talk Day which raises funds for mental health initiatives and aims to reduce the stigma around mental illness.  You can find more about this day and how you can contribute at Bell Let’s Talk.

Each year, 1 in 5 Canadians faces a personal mental health challenge. At UBC, we’re dedicated to providing support. Faculty and staff can access a range of mental health resources at UBC Health and Wellbeing. For additional educational opportunities, explore our mental health-related courses at UBC Workplace Learning. Together, we can foster a healthier, more supportive community.
