Here are some great photos of our local Defence Team showing their love for mental health on Bell Let’s Talk Day! By learning and talking about mental health, we can support ourselves and others living with mental illness, while helping to reduce stigma around mental health. Today and every day, let’s remember to show our support for all those who live with mental illness and to take care of ourselves and others. Many thanks to Defence Team members from various units who submitted photos this year.
