Kate Middleton has spoken out about the difficulty in opening up about one's mental health in a video aimed at children and parents.
Appearing in a video for charity Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, the Duchess of Cambridge explained in simple terms what "mental health" means.
"Mental health is how we feel and think, things that can't really be seen but affect us everyday. And talking about them can feel difficult," she said.
The Duchess' words act by way of introduction to a short animation aimed at children to help them find the words to talk about mental health. The Duchess explained that the animation can help figure out "what to say and who to talk to when we have feelings that are too big to manage on our own."
The animation gives a simple breakdown of what the term "mental health" means, and it features tips and advice from children and adults on talking about thoughts, feelings and emotions.
"Sometimes it's just a simple conversation that can make things better," Kate added.
