Prince William made a call to caregivers in Northern Ireland and spoke about his fears of the effect of lockdown on children
opened up about his concern over the longterm effects the lockdown may have on children in a recent video call to caregivers in Northern Ireland.
During his discussion with a group of professionals from the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, which delivers care to around 340,000 people, the royal dad of three, 37, said, “I’m particularly worried as to how the young people are going to cope longterm because we’re all muddling through this period at the moment and helping each other. But the longterm implications — of school being missed, anxiety levels, family members sadly dying and the sort of general economic outlook.
Consultant psychiatrist Frances Doherty, who runs an inpatient mental health unit for teenagers, replied: “Interestingly in our service in the short-term, some of our referral rates have gone down, but I would imagine that as we’re starting to come out of lockdown and people are starting to get back into the world again, [we’re] starting to realize just what we’ve been through and we’ll start to see our referral rate increase and the impact on our services.
