Duchess of Cambridge launches a "Mental Health" website 

Kate Middleton is on a mission to help teachers improve their skills when it comes to talking to children about mental health issues.

Kate, 36, launched "Mentally Healthy Schools", a program that will provide online resources for teachers and school staff to help students struggling with the challenges of growing up.

"When we intervene early in life, we help avoid problems that are much more challenging to address in adulthood," Kate said. "My own commitment is to the youngest and most vulnerable in their early years - babies, toddlers and primary school-age pupils – and to support all those who care for them, including teachers."

She added, "The ultimate goal is that no primary school teacher, anywhere in the country, should in future have to wonder where to turn when it comes to the well-being of children in their care."

Kate's goal in championing the program is to provide mental health resources to children and parents early on before they become more serious. Heads Together estimates that more than half of all mental health problems in adult life start by the age of 14, with one in 10 children experiencing a mental health difficulty by age 11.
