I came across the same article and had shared with a few colleagues of mine. I do appreciate the awareness and attempt at bringing attention towards the stimga around MH. However, I do echo the concern about what it means when an organization like Bell is working with unpaid labour and depending on social media engagement. I would like to see a partnership with lets say Kidshelpphone, who really do need charitable funds to support their launch of text services for young people. Definitely a controversial article.
