Prince William wrote an open letter speaking on the importance of discussing mental health, especially with children so they can gain a greater understanding at an early age.
The letter was published this Sunday, father’s day, in the hopes of helping to end the stigma
Prince William stated that he sees a clear link between adolescent homelessness, substance abuse and suicide by the lack of open discussions taking place at home in early childhood about mental health, diminishing the stigma around it.
To quote the Prince himself in his letter:
“While the circumstances of any one situation are unique, it is clear that many families could have been helped if they had found it easier to talk openly about mental health challenges in the home. And I have been really disheartened to learn that even with all the progress made in recent years, many parents would still be ashamed if their children had a mental health problem.”
