From The Duchess of Cambridge's speech: "Getting support to children at the very earliest stage helps improve their outcomes in later life. As a mother getting used to leaving my own child at the school gates, it's clear to me that it takes a whole community to help raise a child. Whether we are school leaders, teachers, support staff or parent - we're all in this together."

"We are all working to give children the emotional strength they need to face their futures and thrive. I'm proud that The Royal Foundation is playing its part too after the Head Together campaign. Collaboration with experts like yourselves, we're looking at providing easy access to information and practical tools to support teachers, parents and children feel comfortable talking about their mental health."

Catherine wrote a letter to all those who attended the conference. You can read the full text below. As you can notice, the letter has a new photo of her at the bottom. In the picture, she probably wore her Catherine Walker suit she first wore during her visit to the Netherlands last year.
