Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited a children’s mental health conference.
The royal couple – who have an 11-month-old son Prince George – attended the event yesterday(30.06.14) at The Royal Society of Medicine in London to widen their knowledge of children’s mental health issues, reports The Express.
The Duke of Cambridge 32, and Duchess Catherine, 32, listened to the keynote speech at the annual ‘Place2Reflect’ event – put on by the mental health charity ‘Place2Be’ – which was delivered by TV presenter Robert Winston.
Duchess Catherine – who is a patron of ‘Place2Be’ – will continue to raise awareness of children’s health issues when she arrives at the Blessed Sacrament School in Islington, North London, today(01.07.14).
The mother of one will discuss the counselling project ‘M-PACT Plus’ which works to help children born into families affected by drug or alcohol misuse.
Duchess Catherine – who launched the project with comedian John Bishop in April last year – said at the time: "I have been struck by the profound and deeply damaging impact it has on the children of affected parents.
"Research has shown that children of those who are addicted are seven times more likely to have addiction problems themselves.
"They are also brought up surrounded by fear, instability and chaos."
