As part of her work around the early years, The Duchess of Cambridge is focusing on Maternal and Children Mental Health and working hard to remove the stigma around Mental health along with her charities – The Anna Freud Centre, Place2Be and Young Minds. The Royal Foundation launched Mentally Healthy Schools, a website for primary school staff giving them access to hundreds of quality-assured resources, advice and information to help them better understand and promote children’s mental health and well being. In 2020, she launched a landmark survey ‘ Five Big Questions‘ that give people across the UK an opportunity to provide their view on raising the next generation.

It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for their future – The Duchess of Cambridge.

Through her work, The Duchess of Cambridge is bringing wider public attention to the fact that issues facing children today such as addiction, poverty, abuse, neglect, loss and illness of family members, can have a long-lasting and traumatic impact if left unsupported.
