5. Bell Let’s Talk Day
Bell Let’s Talk Day, January 30, is just around the corner and Pine River
Elementary is helping to erase the stigma that still exists around mental illness.
Did you know that 27% of Canadians said they would be fearful of being around
someone who suffers from serious mental illness?
Be kind is the 3rd way that we can eliminate stigma. Simple kindness can make
the world of difference. Whether it’s a smile or being a good listener, these simple
acts of kindness can help open up the conversation and let someone know you
are there for them.
Expressions like “You’ll get over it” and “Just relax” can minimize how a person is
feeling. Instead offer your support and say “I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well.” Ask
what you can do to help.
