Duke and Duchess of Sussex Address Online Hate's Impact on Mental Health
Meghan Markle appears to be following the example of her estranged sister-in-law, Princess Kate, in making significant societal changes. The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry have introduced a meaningful initiative, the Parents' Network, in collaboration with their Archewell Foundation.
This thoughtful project aims to tackle the increasing problem of cyberbullying and its detrimental effects on young people's mental health. It also seeks to provide support to the parents of victims and survivors.
In a recent interview on CBS News, Harry and Meghan highlighted the importance of parents being equipped to assist children who become targets of online hate. Harry stated, "Every parent needs to be a first responder, and even the best first responders in the world would not be able to tell the signs of possible suicide, which is a terrifying piece."
The announcement of their new project comes shortly after Kate Middleton launched The Baby Bank Alliance through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. The initiative, which supports over 300 baby banks across the UK, aims to provide families, babies, and children with essential supplies and clothing.
