Walsh says there are ways to promote your own mental health such as taking the time to participate in activities that bring you joy or a sense of calm, reach out to others, and know your own feelings. She says events like “Bell Let’s Talk Day” really start those important conversations about mental health, providing an opportunity to educate, raise awareness, promote understanding and help reduce stigma.
