Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a day that we look to raise awareness of mental health around the world.
This #WMHD we are sharing posts and accounts working on mental health issues, along with some useful resources for those that might need support 👇
Heads Together have curated a guide of #WMHD content from the eight @Heads_Together charity partners, filled with their support services, fundraising challenges, important messages and much more.
#MentallyHealthySchools — a collaboration between @AFNCCF@Place2Be@YoungMindsUK, and launched by The Duchess of Cambridge, has created and curated a set of resources focusing on inclusivity and celebrating our differences:
Our Frontline @OurFrontlineUK offers round-the-clock one-to-one support to NHS workers, carers, the Blue Light emergency services and other key workers.
Find out more about how they could offer support for you 👇
“Next year the world turns its attention to the International #YearoftheNurseandMidwife, and recognising and celebrating the humbling work that you and your colleagues do day in, day out, to improve the lives of others.” — The Duchess of Cambridge
“You are there for women at their most vulnerable; you witness strength, pain and unimaginable joy on a daily basis.” — The Duchess of Cambridge in her open letter to Midwives #SupportNursesandMidwives
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the people who lost their lives in the devastating attack in Christchurch." — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“We have all been fortunate to spend time in Christchurch and have felt the warm, open-hearted and generous spirit that is core to its remarkable people. No person should ever have to fear attending a sacred place of worship.”
“This senseless attack is an affront to the people of Christchurch and New Zealand, and the broader Muslim community. It is a horrifying assault on a way of life that embodies decency, community, and friendship.”
The Duchess of Sussex will become Patron of four organisations that reflect the causes and issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare.
The National Theatre: The Duchess is a strong believer in using the arts to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together.
@NationalTheatre’s mission is to make world class theatre that’s entertaining, challenging and inspiring – and to make it for everyone.
Association of Commonwealth Universities: Her Royal Highness is a strong advocate of accessible education for all.
@The_ACU is the world's first and oldest international university network, and the only org representing higher education across all 53 Commonwealth countries.
Prince Harry & Ms. Meghan Markle are incredibly grateful for the goodwill they have received since their engagement, & have asked that anyone who might wish to mark the occasion of their wedding considers giving to charity, instead of sending a gift. royal.uk/wedding-charit…
The couple have personally chosen 7 charities which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women's empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces.
The charities include @chivaprojects, which supports children growing up with HIV and their families. The charity helps to create a more hopeful and optimistic future for them, ensuring they achieve their greatest potential. chiva.org.uk
Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle are hugely grateful for the many good wishes they have received since announcing their engagement.
They are looking forward to the day and to being able to share their celebrations with the public and wanted to share the following details about their wedding on May 19th with you:
The wedding service will begin at 12noon at St George's Chapel. The Dean of Windsor will conduct the service and The Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate as the couple make their vows.
Following today's @BBCr4today guest edit, Prince Harry shared his reflections on the programme and what he hopes listeners took away from today's discussions.
HRH said: "I’m hugely grateful for this platform to be able to
discuss topics that I think really need to be discussed and thought about."
HRH said: "Part of my role and part of my job is to shine a
spotlight on issues that need that spotlight whether it’s people, whether its
causes, whatever it is."
