CAIRO – 9 January 2018: In celebration of Duchess of Cambridge Catherine “Kate” Middleton’s 36 birthday, we have gathered some her most notable comments about the serious issue of mental health and how we all can take part in increasing its awareness.

“Addiction is a hugely complex and destructive disease, and its impact can be simply devastating. All too often, lives and families can be shattered by it.” – Kate Middleton



“My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty; I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life.” – Kate Middleton



“A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support.” – Kate Middleton



“The challenge that so many people have is not knowing how to take that first step of reaching out to another person for help.” – Kate Middleton



“Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.” – Kate Middleton



“With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.” – Kate Middleton



“Since beginning my work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges.” – Kate Middleton



“Together with open conversations and greater understanding, we can ensure that attitudes for mental health change and children receive the support they deserve.” – Kate Middleton



“No one would feel embarrassed about seeking help for a child if they broke their arm – and we really should be equally ready to support a child coping with emotional difficulties.” – Kate Middleton



“We need to help young people and their parents understand that it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help.” – Kate Middleton
