Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, patron of Place2Be since 2013 released a video to support children’s mental health. Her role as Patron has brought progress as she launched first Children’s Mental Health Week in 2015 and helped open London headquarters in 2018 for Place2Be.
See this short video clip released by Kensington Palace on their Instagram Royal account.
Last week the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton wrote a message encouraging children to speak up about their mental health with the theme for the year; ‘Find your brave’
It reads:
“For many children today, the world can feel a scary and daunting place. While we might not always feel brave inside, even the smallest act – such as sharing a worry or asking for help – can be incredibly courageous. Helping children to feel confident about seeking support can have a transformational impact on their lives. Being able to try new things and push ourselves outside of our comfort zone are important skills that can build children’s resilience and self-esteem. Learning these skills early in life can give children tools to cope with future challenges they may face in adulthood. Our long-term ambition is to bring about positive, lasting change for generations to come. I’d love schools and families across the country to take part in the week to help children and young people to ‘find their brave’.”
To further drive that message, see a video of Kate on official engagements for children and her children at Chelsea Flower Show last summer.
