Kate Middleton highlights 'Children's Mental Health Week' with rare selfie video

LONDON:

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, recently highlighted the importance of ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ in a selfie video.

Supporting the cause of her annual initiative ‘Place2Be’, the Duchess posted the video ahead of the planned event which took off under her patronage.

“This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is all about expressing yourself, about finding creative ways in which to share your thoughts, ideas and feelings,” Middleton said in the video.

“So whether that’s through photography, through art, through drama, music or poetry, it’s finding those things that make you feel good about yourself,” she said.

“This is a hugely challenging time for us all, so please look after yourself too,” Middleton said.

“Make sure everyone looks after themselves. It’s very hard to prioritise but it’s definitely needed now more than ever,” she added.

Children’s Mental Health Week aims to bring out the best in a child and encourages them to pursue things that make them happy.

The 39-year-old member of the Royal Family has a keen interest in generating awareness on the mental wellbeing of children and often urges parents to bring out the best in their children.

Fans lauded Middleton’s message and termed it a great initiative that would go a long way to promote mental health.
