Prince William and Duchess Catherine, together with Prince Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan (who recently welcomed a baby boy!) are launching a new project which is very close to their hearts. 'Shout' is an affiliate of Crisis Text Line, which has been successfully running in the United States for five years already. In the UK, 'Shout' will be totally free and confidential and offers mental health support for those who want it - all via text message.
'Shout' is part of the legacy of 'Heads Together'
Prince William: "We are incredibly excited..."
Prince William introduced the new initiative, which has been generously funded by The Royal Foundation, with a video message on Instagram on Friday, May 10th. A couple of pictures from the headquarters of 'Shout' were also shared and the message from the Duke of Cambridge was very positve and clear: "We are incredibly excited to be launching this service, knowing it has the potential to reach thousands of vulnerable people every day."
'Shout' can be reached via https://www.giveusashout.org/ or on the Instagram account @giveusashoutinsta.
