Be Well Community Movement

Visible across our communities, Be Well Bells ring in a new narrative. Community wellness requires the commitment and participation of every single one of us. Be Well Bells serve as a symbol of hope and healing for our communities. Be Well Bells:

• Elevate brain health
• Serve as a visual reminder of ending stigma associated with brain health, inspiring lives worth living, and reducing suicide
• Open conversations to additional supports and resources
• Include a plaque with attached QR code that allows individuals to connect with brain health resources in the moment
• Are decorative, custom sculptures designed by local artists
• Inspire HOPE for a better tomorrow

The Be Well Bell is inspired by Mental Health America's Mental Health Bell to serve as a symbol of hope, healing and wellness. In the 1950s, Mental Health America issued a call to asylums across the country to collect chains and shackles that were once used as restraints during mental health treatment. These chains and shackles were melted down and reshaped into a bell - a sign of hope. Burrell Behavioral Health was inspired by this initiative and reached out to Mental Health America for approval to utilize the bell for the Be Well Community Movement.
