Prince Harry had professional training to help sufferers of mental health problems

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry has had professional training to help people battling with mental health problems.
The 32-year-old royal has undertaken a two-day training course in a bid to learn how to assist veterans who are battling with psychological issues during his time working with injured service people at the London District Personnel Recovery Unit, according to the Mail Online.
Speaking about the flame-haired hunk, a source said: “Through his work with the personal recovery unit he attended a two-day course about how to help people with mental health issues in the veterans’ context.
“It’s about mental health first aid: what do you do when someone comes to you, what words should you use, which direction can you point them in? It also went through the range of issues veterans face.”
Although the insider believes the “stigma” surrounding a person’s internal battle has become less, it is stressed that more needs to be done to help with other types of mental health issues.
The source continued: “PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) isn’t the stigma that it once was, but it is sometimes used as a catch-all diagnosis when other issues such as depression and anxiety may be more appropriate.”
And Harry’s older brother the Duke of Cambridge, and his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, have released a series of 10 films, which capture various people opening up about their struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and traumas in a bid to educate the nation.
Prince William, Catherine and Harry joined forces to create the Heads Together campaign last year to help raise awareness around mental health.
Speaking previously, they said: “Attitudes to mental health are at a tipping point. We hope these films show people how simple conversations can change the direction of an entire life.”
