  The Mental Health Foundation in the UK gives an overall perspective saying that mental health problems drive a considerable number of diseases and disabilities worldwide. In England alone statistics are such that one out of four people experience mental health problems in their lifetime, which something that Prince William, Prince Harry and the Duchess Of Cambridge Kate Middleton hope to address with Heads Together.

Matthew Todd, editor of Attitude, was able to share with Prince William his experience of speaking with the loved ones of children who take to suicide as a recourse for being bullied about their sexual orientation. "No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason," Prince William expressed.

Prince William advised that individuals being bullied, especially children and teenagers should raise the flag when bullying happens. Citing Prince William, individuals who go through bullying - whether over sexual orientation or other reasons of hate and prejudice - should let others know what they are going through, be it a friend, a teacher, an adult one trusts or a helpline such as Childline.

Reuters reports that in 2013 Prince Harry was given recognition for rescuing a soldier from gay bullying. The Kensington Palace social media announced that as an offshoot of the Heads Together campaign, Prince William launched The Royal Foundation Taskforce On The Prevention of Cyberbullying.
