Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day, a day to bring awareness to mental health issues.
Andrew Jensen, pro golfer and Bell Let’s Talk Ambassador, suffered from depression in his teens but didn’t know about it until his mid-20s.
He tried to take his life when he was 16 and again twice when he was 27.
After the two later attempts, he went through years of treatment and therapy.
He now has the confidence to speak out about it.
To Jensen, Bell Let’s Talk is hope. Every year more people are affected and the conversation about mental health gets louder.
If you know someone is going through a tough time, Jensen says to just be there for them, you can’t solve it or fix it. You have to show them you love them and that you’re there for them. That will move mountains.
Bell Let’s talk is important because it tells the country that your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
