@TLLK posted this in the engagement thread of the DOC's, now we know what the KP meeting was about.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend Shout?s Crisis Volunteer celebration event at the Troubadour White City Theatre in London on 12th November.

The event brings together people from across the UK who volunteer around the clock with Shout to support people in crisis. As volunteers access their shifts from computers in their own homes, this event will be an excellent opportunity for this virtual community to meet and see the scale of the national network they have joined.

Shout is a 24/7 text support service which was researched and developed by The Royal Foundation as a legacy of the Heads Together Campaign, with a ?3million investment. It was launched by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May 2019. The service is powered by Crisis Text Line. Since the service went live, Shout 85258 Crisis Volunteers have had 145,000 conversations via text with people in crisis, exchanging 6 million messages.

This annual volunteer day is focussed on celebrating the hundreds of trained Crisis Volunteers who operate the 24/7 service taking shifts in their homes across the UK, under clinical supervision. Shout aims to encourage people to reach out for support at an early stage, without fear or shame.

During the visit, the Duke and Duchess will receive a brief update on the scale and impact of Shout. Their Royal Highnesses will hear that 75 per cent of people who contact Shout are under 25, and that the most frequent subjects raised in those conversations are suicide (37 per cent), depression (36 per cent), relationships (29 per cent), anxiety (31 per cent), isolation (19 per cent) and self-harm (17 per cent).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will also meet people who answered Their Royal Highnesses? public appeal to volunteer with the service. An amazing 13,000 people registered an interest with Shout following the appeal and 3,000 enrolled in training. Shout 85258 now has 1,500 Crisis Volunteers active on the platform with more training, graduating and joining the platform each week. Their Royal Highnesses will also meet mental health campaigners, Shout staff members and supporters.

The Duke and Duchess will join Shout volunteers in the theatre to watch a special performance before joining a group photo with volunteers to encourage everyone to spread the word about Shout

Glad to see that this joint project from the Cambridges and the Sussexes will be honoring the volunteers who work for Shout taking shifts to help those in crisis and in need of mental health support.

Joint project in the looses of ways. Harry and Meghan didn?t even attend the official launch at Kensington Palace.

The organisation responsible for Shout is Mental Health Innovations. Launched by William in October 2017, over six weeks before H&M?s engagement.

With Peter Fonagy on the board, ?3 mill in total was given from the royal foundation to set it up

Peter Fonagy is a world renown clinical psychologist and is key member of Catherine?s early years initiative. He?s the Chief Executive of the Anna Freud Centre, of which Catherine is royal patron.

This is the only project to date where the 4some are involved, because of the statement that the Sussex will be joining the Cambridge's with Kate's Heads Together (within the Royal Foundation, the moneys were taken from K's Heads Together Mental Health division, financial statement).

So to date if nothing changes in the future, any project with Heads Together the 2 couples will be joining forces to launch, create awareness, etc. that goes with this (all) duties.

Prince William asks whether 'social media firms are doing enough to stop suicide' | Daily Mail Online

Double post auto-merged: November 12, 2019, 02:12:29 PM


QuoteThe Duke of Cambridge has asked whether social media platforms are doing enough to prevent suicide, after meeting the father of a teenager who killed herself having viewed graphic content on Instagram.

William and the Duchess of Cambridge met Ian Russell, father of Molly Russell, who took her own life in November 2017 aged 14.

Mr Russell has said he believes Instagram was partly responsible for her death.

Visiting the Troubadour White City Theatre in west London, William and Kate offered Mr Russell their condolences, and William asked him: 'Do you think companies like Instagram are doing enough?'

On a visit to crisis text charity Shout the prince added: 'Catherine and I, and I know I speak for Harry and Megan as well, couldn't be more proud of what Shout has accomplished.'

QuoteSpeaking after the meeting, Mr Russell said: 'My thoughts on Instagram are, we're grateful that they're doing something but I think they're only really inching along the road, and they need to do a lot more.'

Mr Russell also disclosed that the duke had been in touch with the family earlier this year to offer his support, and added: 'Support from all ends helps, support from the royal family, perhaps, particularly helps.'

The duke and duchess were attending an event with the charity Shout, celebrating its volunteers who use a text service to assist people in crisis.

Since its launch in 2018, 1,500 volunteers have had 145,000 text conversations with people in crisis, exchanging a total of six million messages.

End of the royal rift. Prince Harry and Prince William BOTH share Instagram posts celebrating their joint charity venture launched before the Sussex's split from the Royal Foundation

Prince William, 37, and Kate Middleton, 37, included Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, in a caption celebrating the work of Shout - a 24/7 crisis text service.


:friends:

I wish the fans of both couples via social media behaved. Accusing one couple or both from bullying and racist with hashtags is maddening. It's a small group of people, the majority have since months ago decided to give SM a rest.

The Cambridges and the Sussexes have been quietly making visits to the Shout headquarters.

Kate Middleton & Meghan Markle's Secret Visits to the Shout Crisis Text Line

QuoteWilliam, Kate, Harry and Meghan were praised today for their work behind the scenes in developing Shout, a crisis text line for those in need. Details of their support when the cameras are not rolling were revealed as William and Kate joined a volunteer celebration event for Shout, which the four young royals launched back in May.

Nancy Lublin, the Founder of Crisis Text Line in the U.S., told T&C that she was ?so grateful? for how the royals have highlighted the service publicly and shared how they have also engaged in under-the-radar visits.

?They have been into our offices, I think, four times, at this point in time, quietly without anyone knowing,? Lublin said about the four young royals.

She added, ?They?ve been to this event without anyone knowing last year. They are really here for the work.?

Describing how the young royals have ?thrown themselves into hard issues,? she said: ?I think they take their role very seriously, really learning about the data. Learning about how things work. I?m so grateful.?
