The Duchess of Cambridge, patron of children's mental health charity Place2Be, has recorded a video message to support the UK's first Children's Mental Health Week, which encourages parents to talk openly with children.

She commented 'Through Place2Be I have seen the benefits of offering children support for their mental health in the safety of the school environment. Both William and I sincerely believe that early action can prevent problems in childhood from turning into larger ones later in life'.
