Duchess of Cambridge launches mental health website | Daily Mail Online

She's known for her incredibly polished public appearances, and today the Duchess of Cambridge did not disappoint as she put on an impeccable display of co-ordination in head-to-toe blue.

The pregnant royal, 36, arrived at a London school to launch a mental health website for young people in a recycled Sportmax coat she wore while expecting Charlotte in 2015, teamed with a ?95 scarf from Beulah London, tanzanite earrings and navy blue heels.

Once inside the Roe Green Junior School, Kingsbury, north-west London, Kate removed her coat to reveal a figure-hugging blue maternity dress by Serpahine underneath.

The Duchess was at the school to launch the pilot of the Mentally Healthy Schools website aimed at giving primary school teachers practical resources to help support the mental health of their pupils, coordinated and financed by the duchess' Royal Foundation.

Here you go.

KATE'S SPEECH ON MENTAL HEALTH 
Hello everyone, and thank you to all those that I have met this morning, children and staff.
Over the last two years, William and Harry and I have been honoured to take part in a national conversation on mental health through our Heads Together campaign.
We know that mental health is an issue for us all ? children and parents, young and old, men and women - of all backgrounds and of all circumstances.
What we have seen first-hand is that the simple act of having a conversation about mental health ? that initial breaking of the silence ? can make a real difference.
But, as you here today know: starting a conversation is just that ? it's a start.
This is particularly true of the conversations that take place in our schools, and with our children.
I see time and time again that there is so much to be gained from talking of mental health and taking the mental health of our children as seriously as we do their physical health.
When we intervene early in life, we help avoid problems that are much more challenging to address in adulthood.
My own commitment is to the youngest and most vulnerable in their early years - babies, toddlers and school-children ? and to support all those who care for them.
The role of teachers here is absolutely vital. You see our children as they grow, learn and play, as they build their social skills that will make the difference to their futures.
You are uniquely placed to help children speak out about their mental and emotional challenges, and direct parents and carers to the right support.
I am all too aware, however, of how much we ask teachers to take on. Teachers want to help, but don't have the time to go hunting for the best information and advice out there. You need resources you can trust. And you need to have easy access to them at all times.
That is what this pilot is all about.
Led by the Royal Foundation, with close collaboration from our Heads Together partners, this new online resource will transform schools? access to high-quality information, and guide teachers and school leaders towards the best support out there.
The ambition is to roll this website out this year so it's available to every teacher in every primary school in the UK. The ultimate goal is that all teachers in the country should know where to turn for expert resources to support the emotional well-being and mental health of children in their care.
I would ask each of you here today to work with the Foundation to develop this new essential resource. Please let us know what works, what doesn't, and what else you would like to see. This project has been collaboration from day one. It will only succeed if we continue to work together.
And with that in mind, it's so exciting to see the Department for Education, represented by the Minister here today, taking such a close interest.
Finally, I'd like to say a huge thank you to you all. We would not be here today without the help of our Heads Together partners, including the Anna Freud Centre, Place2Be and Young Minds.
I am grateful, too, to the Centre for Mental Health, the National Association of Head Teachers and the fifty schools taking part in this pilot. I am so excited to see where this work will take us in future. Thank you.

@wannable-Just heard a similar request during my lunch break on Friday. The regular ed teachers were asking the autism specialist if the district or county had online resources for strategies to work with their SPED students who were mainstreamed into their elementary school classrooms.

@TLLK the website Headstogether is User Friendly...the Urgent Help button is not a miss, the person who will attend will direct the need accordingly.

In the case of that twitter user, he/she did not enter the website.  He/she just rushed in feet first.

[wannable]

I am not British, I understand her perfectly well, many of my British friends say its natural.  Perhaps an issue with and for American English.

Since the project is for primary schools, and 50 schools signed up for the project, which is also available in the Headstogether website, if there are more schools interested, they need to enter the website, fill in the blank form in order to be a participant school.

I agree that it is hard to miss that big yellow "Urgent Help" button. It's a shame that the Twitter user didn't take the opportunity to explore this easy to understand and follow site.
