Kate Middleton and Prince William have attended their first joint engagement following the birth of their third child Prince Louis.
The doting parents attended an event in honour of World Mental Health Day which is set to take place tomorrow.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the first Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit earlier this morning. The aim of today’s event is to promote better mental health for all.
Kate and William will meet youths who are dealing with mental health issues at today’s event.
The parents have always been passionate about beating the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
They established the Heads Together campaign along with William’s brother Prince Harry. The aim of Heads Together is to abolish that stigma and to encourage open conversations about mental health disorders.
Mum-of-three Kate previously delivered a moving speech about children’s mental health: “No parent would fail to call the doctor if their child developed a fever, yet some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask. It doesn’t need to be like this."
"Throughout my work with family and child support organisations, one thing that has stood out to me time and again is that getting early support for a child who is struggling to cope is the best possible thing we can do to help our children as they grow up.
"Knowing this, both William and I feel very strongly that we wouldn’t hesitate to get expert support for George and Charlotte if they need it."
We have so much respect for the work Kate and William do. Their determination to fight the stigma surrounding mental health is admirable.
