Kate Middleton will always want what’s best for her kids.
On Sunday, the Duchess of Cambridge launched a few new podcasts through the Anna Freud National Center for Children and Families, which hope to help parents better understand their children’s struggles with mental health.

In a statement, the brunette beauty exclaimed that she and Prince William would have no problem getting help for Prince George and Princess Charlotte if they need it, and encourage other parents to follow suit, saying:
“One in three adults still say they would be embarrassed to seek help for their child’s mental health. No parent would fail to call the doctor if their child developed a fever, yet some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask. It doesn’t need to be like this. … Knowing this, both William and I feel very strongly that we wouldn’t hesitate to get expert support for George and Charlotte if they need it.”
The momma-of-two also wants the podcasts to break down parents’ stigmas of fear and shame when it comes to getting mental health help, adding:
“I hope that this excellent series of podcasts by the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families will go some way to help families overcome that fear of what happens next if they look for professional support. They illustrate that many of the therapies are actually very simple and practical steps that include the whole family to help children make sense of the world around them.”
The Center also conducts research, and gives specialist services and training.
