“It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times.
“Our hope is that this series will be positive, enlightening and inclusive — sharing global stories of unparalleled human spirit.
“Fighting back from the darkest places, and the opportunity for us to understand ourselves and those around us better,” Prince Harry said.
NAN also reports that the TV series built on Harry’s longstanding commitment to tackling mental health and raising awareness of mental illness.
He launched the “Heads Together” mental health campaign in 2017 alongside his brother, Prince William.
The campaign leads a coalition of mental health charities in order to provide support for people affected by mental illness, along with raising awareness and tackling stigma. (NAN)
