The Duchess of Cambridge often participates in mental health awareness activities. Just this month, Kate Middleton made the headlines as she attended Place2Be's Headteacher Conference.

As per Telegraph, the conference gathered senior leaders from partner schools all over England, Scotland, and Wales to share their thoughts and expertise in making an improvement on understanding the youth's mental health.

The whole conference focused on the school leaders in which they will have an early intervention when it comes to the child's mental health. They also discussed the school's role that can eventually tackle the child's mental health issues.

The website Kate Middleton Review was able to transcribe the Duchess of Cambridge's speech during the Palce2Be Headteacher Conference.

In her speech, she shared on why she chose mental health:

"I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children. I imagine my answer might be similar to many of yours. I know that I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved, valued and listened to. But of course many children are not so lucky. Since beginning my work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges."

She then openly stated that some children need an ample amount of support as not all of them are privileged enough to have parents that nurture them.

"Not all children have the anchor of a strong family. Many will arrive through your school gates feeling a real lack of love and devotion in their lives. This often leaves them feeling insecure and without confidence and trust in the world around them. That is why your work is so important. Parents, teachers and other school staff need the tools to help these young people early in their lives. And the earlier, the better. It is proven that early action prevents problems later in life. [...] As head teachers you have the chance to reach tens of thousands of children during your careers, and make an impact on a great scale."
