I'm glad that you mentioned the editing work that goes on prior to a video being broadcast @wannable as it views as a much more polished and professional compilation then IMO.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are really engaging and caring behind-the-scenes, one charity volunteer has revealed to HELLO

Prince William and Kate celebrated the first anniversary of Shout85258, the UKs first 24/7 crisis text line, during a Zoom call with volunteers last week.

Alexis Caught, 30, was among the volunteers on the call with the Cambridges and was the first person to do a special takeover on Kensington Royal's Instagram stories last Saturday, where he answered questions about Shout and mental health.

Earlier this week, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke via video call to a family whose 12 year old son had texted Shout 85258 for support when he was at crisis point and about to take his life. Their Royal Highnesses heard Jacks story and how his parents felt there was no doubt that Jacks conversation with a Shout Volunteer had saved him.

I cannot imagine how Jack's father felt when he received the call from emergency services. Shock, relief, sorry, joy. Thank goodness Jack texted SHOUT and received the assistance that he required at that time.

Too often, people feel afraid to admit that they are struggling with their mental health. This fear of prejudice and judgement stops people from getting help and can destroy families and end lives. Heads Together wants to help people feel much more comfortable with their everyday mental wellbeing and have the practical tools to support their friends and family.

Heads Together is a mental health initiative spearheaded by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, which combines a campaign to tackle stigma and change the conversation on mental health with fundraising for a series of innovative new mental health services.

The Royal Foundation is rolling out a range of new mental health programmes to ensure that the right help is available to anyone seeking mental health support, wherever they are and whenever they need it. Each of these programmes includes the development and use of digital technologies to transform signposting to appropriate support and improve the quality and availability of education about mental health.

Mentally Healthy Schools is a free and easy to use website specifically designed to offer primary school teachers greater support and advice, providing reliable and practical resources including 600+ lesson plans, activities, assemblies and more, to make it easier for them to better support their pupils? mental health and wellbeing.

The Mental Health at Work programme has been launched to help everyone in the workplace prioritise mental wellbeing. It consists of two core elements: an employer gateway, an online portal containing curated resources enabling employers to address workplace mental health constructively and proactively, and online SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) Employee Training, aimed to equip employees with information and training about workplace mental health, so that they can better support themselves and their colleagues.

The Royal Foundation has also launched a partnership with the Ministry of Defense to improve the mental health of current and former Armed Forces personnel, with a focus on the message that mental fitness is as important as physical fitness.

Shout is a free text messaging service which provides 24/7 support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. It aims to connects people in need to trained volunteers who provide help at a time when it is most needed; enabling them to move from a moment of crisis to a calm state and form a plan for next steps to find longer-term support.

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited three local organisations based in Wolverhampton which support children and young people with their mental health and wellbeing.

Mental Health Awareness Week is the UK?s national week to raise awareness of mental health, hosted annually by the Mental Health Foundation. This year?s theme is centred around nature and the important role it can play to help improve mental wellbeing, as well as its power to prevent or aid recovery from poor mental health.

Their Royal Highnesses firstly visited The Way Wolverhampton Youth Zone, a local organisation which motivates and inspires young people to transform their lives. The Way allows young people the opportunity to participate in positive and constructive activities and provides them with somewhere to go and someone to talk to. The Duke and Duchess joined a group of young people who use The Way?s services as they took part in a number of wellbeing sessions and met a group of HeadStart ambassadors.

Established by The National Lottery Community Fund, HeadStart is a programme designed to improve the resilience and emotional wellbeing of children and young people by giving them the skills they need to address the challenges of modern life. As part of the programme, The Anna Freud Centre, a Heads Together charity partner of which The Duchess is Patron, and University College London are evaluating evidence about new ways to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people and to prevent serious mental health issues from developing. It includes survey responses from 65,000 children and young people ? including many young people from Wolverhampton, such as those accessing HeadStart support at The Way ? about their mental health and the strengths, skills and social connections that support their wellbeing.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have taken over BBC Newsbeat to present a mental health special.

The royals have become reporters, visiting Radio 1's Live Lounge to hear the experiences of four guests.

They spoke about the importance of opening up and building a "toolbox" to help you deal with unexpected obstacles in your personal life.

The full show, recorded on World Mental Health Day, airs later on Radio 1, 1Xtra and Asian Network.

Prince William said the couple wanted to "have a meaningful conversation about mental health".

With William and Catherine doing these kinds of events is helping to keep the monarchy on course for the future.  Just seeing how the people react to seeing them and wanting a picture or to shake hands brings people closer to the monarchy after all William is now the heir and with Catherine at his side the people see the future.  This is what part of what the monarchy is all about....bringing both sides together and securing the future.

Prince William opens up about mental health with England footballers ? Royal Central

QuoteThe Prince of Wales has opened up about mental health with a few of England?s biggest football players in a new episode of ?Game of 5s? ahead of this month?s World Cup.

Joining Prince William are Harry Kane and Declan Rice, who talk about the highs and lows of football as a catalyst for a broader conversation about mental health. The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales collaborated with COPA90, a football media company, to produce the episode.

Kensington Palace shared that the episode ?aims to show that we can all face challenges to our mental health, from those at the top of their game to the fans in the terraces. But through shared interests and common ground, speaking about it doesn?t have to be difficult or lonely ? it can be an everyday topic that we talk openly about in our day to day lives.?

About a month and a half ago, Neil Sean claimed that Harry was 'this close' to make a brouhaha about ''Heads Together'', Harry wanted to go public that HT was HIS idea.  A Sussex team member told Harry not to, that she had fact checked with KP was given a few proofs that it was Kate's idea. Minute meetings with both W and H and the staffers discussing Kate's idea born out of therapy with her entire side of the family in reference to James Middleton, thus calling it 'we did a heads together for my brother. The dates coincide when no one knew about JM's depression, until almost 3 years after he wrote his first article speaking about. 

The Sussex narrative according to Neil is that in one of their latest meetings, their team said to be nice and do nicer stuff rather than trashing, ideas for ''new beginings for the DDofMontecito. One of it is championing Mental Health, Neil claims Meghan told Harry in order to champion MH, they needed to PR and send out to the media that Heads Together was HIS idea...that is how that story goes.

I'm doing my  best to put in every appropriate thread the alleged shenanigans.  But clearly IMO the duo like to cause damage to people.
