World Mental Health Day 2024

In honor of World Mental Health Day, Prince Harry led a significant discussion with Jonathan Haidt, author of the New York Times bestseller The Anxious Generation. Focusing on the impact of social media, they explored how screens and devices affect the mental health of Generation Z and discussed actionable steps to address the rising mental health crisis among teens.

This vital conversation coincides with the release of The Archewell Foundation’s second edition of The Archewell Foundation Insight Report. This report captures insights from ongoing sessions organized by the Foundation, which facilitate intimate discussions aimed at deepening our understanding of how young people and parents navigate life in the digital age.

The report highlights a global youth perspective on technology’s evolving role, featuring contributions from young people across Colombia, Georgia, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These voices shed light on 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 engaging with young people and parents to gain insights on social media and the future of the digital landscape, working together to create a better online world.
