This is so sweet.
The lovely Prince William has revealed that working as an ambulance pilot had an effect on him and his family life.
This week, he spoke at an event to launch his Mental Health At Work initiative, where he opened up.
“You’re just seeing all the sad things, all the pain everyday. I took a lot home without realising it.”
“If you see sad things every day, you think all life is like that… I think that for the medical community, particularly, it must weigh a lot on their minds.”
“That you’re always dealing with despair, sadness, injury, things that are really quite troubling. The attrition builds up and you don’t really have the opportunity to off-load it.”
And this may just be the reason why Heads Together was launched.
In 2017, William admitted that it was his wife’s idea to start the project.
“It was Catherine who first realised that all three of us were working on mental health in our individual areas of focus.”
Might it have been her own experiences and her husband’s that spurred on the suggestion of the launch? Probably.
Kate Middleton and William are joined by Harry and Meghan in their work on the campaign.
Prince William’s main aim?
“My thing really is to get more men talking about their issues before it is too late, and to stop feeling so strong and unable to seek help.”
