Darryl White and Mirko Bibic believe that providing access to safe and trusted mental health support can remove barriers to inclusion and enhance life for all Canadians. They share their perspectives in a press release announcing BMO and Bell as founding partners with a donation of $15 million in support of Kids Help Phone’s new initiative Feel Out Loud that expands access to e-mental health services.

“By supporting Kids Help Phone, we’re challenging the mental health crisis today’s youth are facing and making an investment in our shared future.”
