Kate Middleton Launches New Project Supporting Children’s Mental Health and Highlights the Importance of ‘Relationships’

“That resonates with her own work in developing the Shaping Us framework, the social and emotional skills she sees as really critical for health development.”

Under the new tie-in with Kate’s Center for Early Childhood, Anna Freud will design a training program to support public health professionals who support new mothers and other early years workers to help parents, their babies, and young children.

During the morning, Kate enjoyed a bonding session with parents and their young children. “The princess has such a natural down-to-earth manner and very quickly became comfortable in talking to parents about their experiences and parents were very quickly at ease at sharing their experiences with her,” McCrory adds.
“She sat down and played with the little toddlers and babies that were visiting. It really demonstrated her genuine interest in people and also in her view of relationships really being absolutely key for future prevention,” he continued.
