Hoss Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) http://letstalk.bell.ca/en/ If you have a Twitter, using the hashtag #BellLets talk will send an automatic donation of $.05 to mental health initiatives. This is something they do every January 27th, and it's a beautiful thing. So far they've raised over a million today. Don't be like John Wawrow, a gigantic/miserable wet blanket. https://twitter.com/john_wawrow/status/692399474598088704 https://twitter.com/john_wawrow/status/692399742882615297 Edited January 27, 2016 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah it's a good thing. I babble too much on twitter and it has resulted in "friends" all over the place, usually through hockey. This day has created a bit of a safety net of sorts with some of the people on there. It seems the funniest folks I know on there carry the hardest burdens. It's kinda good to be able to reach out, or get a message from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Last year at this time my employer had Clint Malarchuk in to give a speech. Didn't realize how messed up he had become due to hits to the head, alcohol and depression. It's a good thing spreading this awareness.

Didn't realize how messed up he had become due to hits to the head, alcohol and depression. It's a good thing spreading this awareness. I read his book, A Matter of Inches. Amazing story, and a difficult read. I do recommend it- that's a man dealing with demons. I recommend Derek Sanderson's autobiography and the biography of Derek Boogaard, too. Addiction and lack of help/ability to talk lead to rough roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I had to read the book after telling parts of his life story. Unreal read. Thanks for the recommendations on the others, I will give them a read.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I don't do twitter, but it is also for texting and calling from your mobile, if you are on Bell. I am, so I have sent more messages and made more calls today then, well probably, any other day ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, so I have sent more messages and made more calls today then, well probably, any other day ever. Send a few extras out in my name. I thought about getting a twitter today just for the cause. As someone who struggles with mental health issues, whether they are obligated to do this or not makes no difference to me, the fact is that they are raising awareness to a serious problem.

Glad to do it, my friend. I just messaged my cousin in Calgary ... *Dude, my friend Irwin says hi* I'm sure he will message me back and then we will have a conversation.

Hoss Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) I'm probably the most anti-corporate person here and I still find the whining to be unbelievably gross. #BellLetsTalk is one of the best things to happen to the fight for mental health in my memory.
