Launches Heads Together mental health campaign with Prince William and Prince Harry

In April 2016, Catherine, Princess of Wales (then Duchess of Cambridge), alongside Prince William and Prince Harry, launched the Heads Together mental health campaign. This initiative aimed to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health issues and encourage open conversations about mental well-being. The campaign was a collaborative effort with eight leading mental health charities, including Mind, CALM, and YoungMinds, and sought to address the lack of dialogue and understanding around mental health struggles in the UK. The royal trio emphasized the importance of breaking down barriers that prevent individuals from seeking help, highlighting the necessity of normalizing discussions about mental health in everyday life. Catherine, in particular, stressed the impact that mental health can have on families and young people, areas that she has been passionate about throughout her public life. The Heads Together initiative became widely recognized for bringing mental health to the forefront of public attention, culminating in it being the 2017 London Marathon’s Charity of the Year, where runners wore the campaign’s iconic blue headbands. This campaign marked a pivotal moment in changing the conversation around mental health in the UK and contributed to the growing awareness of mental well-being in broader societal discourse. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #HeadsTogether #MentalHealth #RoyalFamily #CatherinePrincessofWales #BreakTheStigma
