Prince Harry and Defence Secretary Sir Sir Michael Fallon have launched a joint initiative between the Royal Foundation and the Ministry of Defence, building on the MOD's recent strategy to improve the mental health of current and former Armed Forces personnel.

Through the partnership, the Royal Foundation will help the MOD offer staff training courses and specialist support to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health, and Fallon commented 'By looking after our mental health we are building a more effective Armed Forces that helps keep this country safe. Our soldiers, sailors and airmen are the best in the world but we will only maintain that if we are as serious about improving mental health as we are our combat skills and cutting-edge technology'.
