An alternative perspective is that whatever you think of his own path, he has access to many different people and spaces and can observe the kinds of things that worked for those people, in a way that few people can do.

The article says he's worked with MH groups in the UK. As a celebrity ambassador for mental health and development, it's not exactly a bad call. He has spoken publicly about issues he faced losing his mother at an early age.
