Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex, Co-Founder of the Archwell Foundation’s Parents Network Speech @ CGI -2024

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex Co-Founder of the Archwell Foundation’s Parents Network, Spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative 2024 meeting.

The Archewell Foundation, founded by Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has a straightforward mission – ‘show up, do good’.

Since inception, The Foundation has been working to find solutions to the rapidly escalating crisis in youth mental health.

When The Duke and Duchess spent time with families affected by online harm, they witnessed first-hand the power in bringing people with similar experiences together.

As a result of community building, families felt a jumpstart in their healing process and an undeniable energy to drive change together was ignited.

And so, The Parents’ Network was born.  Through connection and a common goal, The Archewell Foundation and the network will work to unite and uplift parents and caregivers and systematically change the social media platforms and devices that create a harmful and dangerous environment for young people around the world.
