(24 Jul 2020) WILLIAM, KATE DONATE TO MENTAL HEALTH OF FRONTLINE WORKERS
The foundation of Britain's Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, have awarded almost 1.8 million pounds ($2.3 million) to support the mental health of frontline workers and others affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The couple's Royal Foundation Covid-19 Response Fund is helping a range of projects, including a charity that provides individual grief trauma counselling to workers in ambulance, fire, police and search and rescue services. Another grant aims to help support the mental health of thousands of pregnant women and new parents.
The royals spoke earlier this week with two emergency responders and two mental health counselors at Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate.
Kate spoke of the "lasting impact'' that the pandemic would have on the mental health of many frontline workers.
Kate and William, along with Prince Harry, launched a campaign called Heads Together in 2016 to inspire more people to speak out about mental health and tackle the stigma around the topic. Both William and Harry have opened up about their own mental health issues dealing with the loss of their mother, Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
