Young Minds Launches Bayo, a New Initiative for Black Mental Health

Kate and William are taking a break with their three children, but they haven't forgotten their charity work and commitments.

On Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's social media account interrupted their half-term silence to share news of an important initiative launched by Young Minds, a leading mental health charity for youngsters.

Bayo is a brilliant new initiative from the Ubele Initiative and Heads Together Partners.

Mind Charity, Young Minds UK, and Best Beginnings are bringing their mental health resources, communities, and services for the black community together in one place.

Kensington Palace wrote, “We're proud to announce the launch of Bayo, a platform providing information about initiatives, communities, and mental health services created by and for the black community, all in one place.”

The announcement of this new initiative pleased the Cambridges' fans online, with many expressing their gratitude for highlighting such an important cause.

One fan named Judith Ince wrote, “Thank you so much for highlighting this wonderful initiative.”

Another named Biblo said, “Important and much needed initiative,” while a third named Ruby Waysome added, “Finally, this is way overdue and much needed.”

Sapphireblue wrote, “Such an amazing initiative, so glad to see you supporting this.”

Mind and Young Minds are both charity partners of Heads Together, the initiative launched in 2016 by Kate, William, and Prince Harry in collaboration with their Royal Foundation.

Heads Together marked the first major project dedicated to mental health led by the Royals.

It aims to end stigma and change conversations on mental health.
