тАЬThe results of this year will be felt for decades,тАЭ Harry adds of the pandemic. тАЬThe kids, families, husbands, wives, everybody.тАЭ
In a personal letter from Oprah, she explained that since opening her Academy for GIrls in South Africa she learned that how past events were affecting their behavior and тАЬsymptoms of their mental health challenges were showing up.тАЭ
тАЬSince then, I felt deeply compelled to better understand mental health and wellness,тАЭ she added. тАЬA few years ago, following a conversation with Prince Harry, we discovered we both held a desire to destigmatize this highly misunderstood subject and give hope to viewers who learn they are not alone.тАЭ
тАЬOur hope is that more people feel encouraged and comfortable having these conversations with loved ones and their communities, and that we all learn to have more empathy for others and ourselves.тАЭ
тАЬThe Me You CanтАЩt SeeтАЭ will be released on Apple TV+ on May 21.
