Prince William is set to meet with a group of young people, including Blue Light mental health champions and volunteers, who have recently joined the emergency and search and rescue services.
A spokesperson for The Prince and Princess of Wales stated that His Royal Highness will hear first-hand from those in the early stages of their careers about the challenges they face.
"The conversation will be focussed on the vital importance of equipping those working in the emergency services with the skills to help protect their mental health and build their resilience, and will be joined by broadcaster, journalist and psychologist Dr Sian Williams.
"Supporting the mental health of this community is a cause close to the heart of The Prince of Wales, as he saw first-hand the challenges emergency responders face on a daily basis whilst serving as a pilot with RAF search and rescue and East Anglian Air Ambulance."
