Are middle-aged men being ignored when it comes to mental health awareness? Around 80% of suicides in Canada are completed by men, ages 40-60 being the highest rate. huffingtonpost.ca/robertwhit… #mentalhealth #removethestigma

I know we all love baby tigers and trust me I want to put them all in my mouth, but usually a selfie with an exotic means they’re being harmed. Let’s all level up and research the places we give our money to because how cool is that to do? youtu.be/kIV79gIZMeE
Now it’s time for my favourite part of the day- bedtime. A change to recharge and set intentions for the day ahead. #BellLetsTalk – at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Self-care isn't all bubble baths and green tea (although I love those things). It's also about giving yourself permission to say no, not comparing yourself to others, feeling the emotions and being true to you. #BellLetsTalk
Has anyone actually felt zen when someone says "Calm Down" or more at ease when told to "Relax"? For me, these are not helpful phrases and make me feel belittled. Instead, try saying something like "I'm here for you" or "How can I help?" #BellLetsTalk
Oftentimes my anxiety is about feeling like I’m not in control. My favourite thing to control and something that brings me joy is planning my daily outfits. Today a colleague gifted me a #BellLetsTalk pin that just happens to match my vintage skirt perfectly!
#BellLetsTalk about language. Calling someones actions crazy, schizo, bi-polar, nuts, spastic, or loony doesn't help anyone. You may be saying this in good humour but what you don't know is that person or their loved ones may be struggling with mental illness. Be kind.
My Anxiety Disorder doesn't define me. I'm not JUST a person living with anxiety. I'm also a partner, friend, daughter, sister, cat Mum, community volunteer, Social Worker, Fashion School graduate, Public Service employee and lover of naps! #BellLetsTalk
#BellLetsTalk To try and reduce stigma in the workplace surrounding mental illness, I tell my Supervisor when I'm not feeling well mentally and need to take a sick day as a result. Because if my mind isn't happy, I won't be productive in the office.
