Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry working to Eliminate Stigma around Mental Health
The Royal Foundation "Heads Together" Campaign ^ | 2018

Posted on 06/08/2018 9:11:03 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

“Heads Together will be the biggest project The Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry have undertaken together. They are incredibly grateful to be working with charities who have achieved so much in the fight against the stigma that surrounds the issue. They want the Heads Together campaign to build on the great work that is already being done across the country so that prejudice and fear no longer stand in the way of people getting the help they need. They want people need to feel much more comfortable with their everyday mental wellbeing and have the practical tools to support their friends and family.

“Through their work with young people, emergency response, homeless charities, and with veterans, Their Royal Highnesses have seen time and time again that unresolved mental health problems lie at the heart of some of our greatest social challenges.

“They are passionate about tackling the stigma surrounding the issue. Too often, they have seen that 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. They want to help change the national conversation.

On the surface this sounds like a noble cause but I have to wonder; what about the millions of leftists in the world with the obvious mental disorder?

Do we take away their right to vote and own firearms due to incompetency?

For maximum effect they should make Prince Charles their spokesperson.

I was wondering why the article keeps referring to him as Prince Harry, when he’s a duke now. And there’s no mention of Meghan Markle. Looks like this article is from 2016?

“Depression”. It's the government's favorite and highly subjective buzzword-of-concern. It can mean whatever the government wants.

In the US the decoder ring translates it as “no self-defense for you”. Having a bum week? Whatever you do, don't use that word to describe your mood to any do-gooder, esp. to one on the government payroll.

Across the pond the students are likely having serious mental health issues from all the harrassment and thuggery coming from the deluge of cultural encroachment er enrichment brought to them by same caring government that gave them the NHS.

“Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry working to Eliminate Stigma around Mental Health”

Somebody has to step in to protect the U.K. political class.

His brother is crazy to marry a divorcee three years older than himself.

“On the surface this sounds like a noble cause but I have to wonder; what about the millions of leftists in the world with the obvious mental disorder?”

An interesting point. We were just having a dinner conversation about the several recent notable suicides and the statistics about how suicides in general are increasing dramatically. The ones that we knew about were all Leftists. I wonder whether the Trump hysteria has created a feeling amongst Leftists that the world is about to end. They certainly all act crazy. How much of that hysterical hyperbole is exacerbating the mental condition and leading to suicidal depression?

I am frequently exposed to a Left-leaning man who will, quite literally, get spitting mad if I say anything conservative sounding. I review everything in my head first to sanitize it of any possible political view.

Well, fine.
Mental illness can happen to anyone.
Being ill is not a character flaw.
Encouraging sufferers to get appropriate treatment is good.

However:

What's not OK is over diagnosing and over medication.
Leftist are likely to gradually change the definition of mental illness so more people will have their guns taken away.

A prince outranks a duke. So the higher title is used. And not that anyone asked me, but it’s all nonsense. Princes, dukes, barons...none of them have any power anymore. They might as well award titles such as “The Grand Duke of Jupiter”.

I suppose they refer to Prince William as “the Duke Of Cambridge” instead of using prince title since his wife was named in conjunction. And I’m with you...at this point I’d have more respect for the Grand Duke of Jupiter.
