TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2012 /CNW/ - A new campaign for youth, activated by
youth, is being launched in Toronto today, calling out the way we talk
about, act towards and support mental health. The campaign, Let's Call BS, is being launched by Partners for Mental Health at the BS[ummit] this
morning.
In addition to the official unveiling of the campaign, the BS[ummit] will feature a gathering of young people and experts in the field of youth mental health for an unfiltered roundtable discussion about the way youth mental health and mental illnesses are treated, funded and supported.
In addition to the live discussion, the BS[ummit] will reach youth
across the country via live broadcast at Facebook.com/partnersformh.
