children's mental health

'It is crucial that we ask ourselves why children in this country feel so lonely.'
'Some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask.'
One drug was associated with increased risk of suicidal thoughts.
A good parent-child relationship is not about perfection.
'Some don’t know the situations young people are going through.'
It is such a privilege to have this opportunity to be Guest Editor of the Huffington Post today, and to celebrate the amazing work being done to improve and understand the mental health of young children. Young Minds Matter, being launched today, is a new series where issues and work around the mental health of young children will be explored. Like most parents today, William and I would not hesitate to seek help for our children if they needed it. We hope to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings, and to give them the tools and sensitivity to be supportive peers to their friends as they get older. We know there is no shame in a young child struggling with their emotions or suffering from a mental illness.
