Bell Let's Talk Day and UWinnipeg
Bell Canada Let's Talk Day
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
The 16th annual Bell Let’s Talk Day will take place on January 21, 2026, a day dedicated to mental health awareness, acceptance and action.
The theme of Bell Let’s Talk Day 2026 is taking a moment for mental health. Canadians will be encouraged to prioritize mental health and give mental health the moment it deserves:
- Moments to take care of and be in tune with your own mental health.
- Moments to reach out to those around you, caring for their mental health.
- Moments to recognize the societal importance of mental health, which can take many forms – from flag raisings, school assemblies, sharing personal stories, to learning and listening.
