Catherine visited the Roe Green Junior School in Brent, London to launch a new website aimed at giving primary school teachers practical support and resources to deal with mental health.
The free website for schools, called Mentally Healthy Schools, is expected to be rolled out nationwide in the spring after being monitored and reviewed.
In a speech to launch the portal, the Duchess told education professionals and guests from the mental health sector: “I see time and time again that there is so much to be gained from talking of mental health and taking the mental health of our children as seriously as we do their physical health.
“When we intervene early in life, we help avoid problems that are much more challenging to address in adulthood.
“My own commitment is to the youngest and most vulnerable in their early years – babies, toddlers and schoolchildren – and to support all those who care for them.”
The website will draw together reliable and practical resources to improve awareness, knowledge and confidence in promoting and supporting pupils’ mental health.
The content will be provided in four main areas – teaching resources, risks and protective factors, mental health needs, and a whole school approach for school leaders.
The Duchess, soon to be a mum of three, later joined a group of children making rainbow spectacles that gave them the power to talk positively about themselves – one of the activities highlighted on the new mental health website.
Catherine has taken a keen interest in tackling mental problem in children which can prevent further problems later in life. The website launch is the latest initiative of the Royal foundation Heads Together, founded by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
Since Autumn 2017 Heads Together has been rolling new mental health programmes, which to tackle the stigma around mental health. Through the use of money generated by fundraising the foundation plans to continue to provide new mental health services.
Later today, Prince William will give a key note speech at the Charity Commission Annual Public Meeting. The meeting is a part of the commissions commitment to public accountability and transparency.
