If Bell had instead donated the money to mental health organizations or perhaps sponsored mental health advocates to go to companies and give lectures while simultaneously handing out this product, it might have helped. Instead, Bell just mailed boxes of swag to different companies with their logos emblazoned on stuff. I asked around the office and nobody had any idea what it was, they were just grabbing free t-shirts. I wouldn't have thought twice about it if I didn't see the thread here on CP.
To me, (and without context or background) it doesn't look altruistic. It sounds more like a marketing slogan to get people to purchase more Bell cell phone plans in order to talk more.

Bell DOES donate to organizations/hospitals and in total have committed over $80 million to the cause.
Instead of posting about something you clearly have no idea about maybe try doing a little research.
Speaking of research, that's another thing Bell does. They donate money to mental health research.
