2/ To mark #WMHD2020, Harry & Meghan will feature on Teenager Therapy podcast(12 noon EST), a podcast founded 2 years ago by 5 Anaheim, CA high schoolers to create a space for teenagers, where they could have candid conversations about Mental health school, family etc

3/ It’s reported that the Duke & Duchess of Sussex became aware of the podcast through a feature in the New York Times, and were so impressed by the group that they wanted to support them.

4/ It’s not surprising that the Sussexes chose to support ‘Teenager Therapy’. They have a passion for youth empowerment and have long advocated for the destigmatization of Mental Health. Harry has been very vocal about his own challenges and works to support others’ eg. Invictus

5/ Last year, Harry observed WMHD in St. Ann’s Nottingham, with 2 groups he supports; EPIC partners, a mentoring program at Nottingham Academy, where during their school assembly he discussed stress management at school and at home with students.
