World Mental Health Day 2024

To mark World Mental Health Day, Prince Harry had a meaningful discussion with Jonathan Haidt, author of the New York Times bestseller The fearful generation. They focused on the impact of social media and examined how screens and devices affect the mental health of Generation Z. They also discussed actionable steps to address the growing mental health crisis among teens.

This important conversation coincides with the release of the Archewell Foundation's second edition of The Archewell Foundation Insight Report. This report summarizes insights from ongoing sessions organized by the Foundation, facilitating confidential discussions aimed at deepening our understanding of how young people and parents are navigating life in the digital age.

The report highlights a global youth perspective on the evolving role of technology and includes contributions from young people from Colombia, Georgia, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. These voices illuminate the unique challenges of growing up online and share their hopes for the future.

Through the Archewell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess are dedicated to working with young people and parents to gain insight into social media and the future of the digital landscape, and to work together to create a better online world.
