Let’s talk about athletes supporting #BellLetsTalk

The support of Bell Let’s Talk day from Team Canada athletes has been overwhelming.

Witnessing athletes from a variety backgrounds and sports come together to create one team during the Olympic Games is a special thing, but seeing these athletes come together to support mental health initiatives is truly spectacular. Here’s a look at some of the great posts that crossed our feed:

Ashley Steacy – Rugby

Rugby role models Ashley Steacy and Jen Kish had a message for all Canadians to kick-off the day.

Tory Nyhaug – Cycling – BMX

Tory reminded us that we are all human and we are not alone.

Arianne Jones – Luge

Arianne is correct, the conversation around mental health must extend beyond #BellLetsTalk day.

Allysha Chapman – Football (Soccer)

Ending the stigma, one post at a time.

Nick Hoag – Volleyball

These Rio 2016 women’s rugby bronze medallists got crafty in between training sessions in Australia to support the cause.

You are not alone!
