Advertising for a corporation dripping in the money desperately needed by many of those suffering from mental illness, with genuine concern for mental health sufferers a distant second.
I can only imagine how much greater that sense of alienation is for those battling severe poverty and racism as well as mental health conditions — how looking up at those billboards of neat white people must add to the feeling that is reinforced daily by so many other structures
Because the reality of mental illness is far from anything that would be approved in a boardroom. It is not clean or clear or pretty; it does not follow a definably upward trajectory. It is messy, ugly, and sad; it often gets much worse before it gets better
This is often the face of mental health in this country — a face that is nowhere close to those smooth, sanitized, overwhelmingly white billboards that look like they’ve been processed out of reality by teams of highly paid marketing consultants.
You want to have a real talk about mental health, Bell Canada? With all due respect for the genuine good of the “Let’s Talk” day, please shut up. Turn down the volume on your logo and focus in on using your substantial financial resources to raise up voices that are silenced
