She added, “Everyone is affected by the online world and social media. We all just want to feel safe. I’m confident that with more ears and awareness and visibility of what is really happening, we can make some significant change together.”
It was a sentiment shared by Harry, who co-founded the Archewell Foundation with Meghan in 2020. “I think for us, for myself and my wife with kids growing up in a digital age, the priority here is to again turn pain into purpose,” he told the audience at the mental health summit, “and provide as much support as well as a spotlight and a platform for these parents to come together, to heal, to grieve and to also collectively focus on solutions so that no other family anywhere has to go through what they’ve been through.”
The panel was just one of the events Meghan and Harry participated in to mark World Mental Health Day. Before taking the stage, the couple also visited The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn to meet with teens who are preparing for careers in tech.
