⋆ Anna Freud National Centre For Children and Families

The Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families was established in 1952. It is an institution that is dedicated to advancing research, training, and treatment in the field of child psychology and mental health. Named after and set up by Anna Freud - a prominent figure in the field of psychoanalysis and the daughter of Sigmund Freud, the center is based in London.

The Princess of Wales has been the patron of the Anna Freud Centre since February 2016, and during her tenure as a royal has paid a number of visits to them and also supported a number of their campaigns.

The Center focuses on promoting the emotional wellbeing of young individuals and families. Through their rigorous research, evidence-based training programs, and effective clinical services, it aims to address the complex problems faced by children and adolescents.

By integrating theory into practical applications, the Center contributes to enhancing mental health support for those in need. With its emphasis on advocacy and awareness, it strives to create a more compassionate and informed society that recognizes the importance of early intervention and support for children's mental health.

The Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families stands as a beacon of excellence in the field of child psychology and mental health. Through its dedication to research, training, clinical services, and advocacy, it makes significant contributions to enhancing the emotional well-being of children, young people, and their families. By upholding the legacy of Anna Freud and her pioneering work, the center continues to positively impact countless lives and shape the future of mental health care.

The photographs in this book by George Barris were the last ones taken of Marilyn Monroe. The photoshoot took place on Santa Monica Beach, California, and it captured a fun and free-spirited Marilyn. Her beauty is au naturel, and she looks happy and relaxed.

I am remembering her because I've been reading how the person who ended up inheriting the vast majority of Marilyn's estate was someone who never actually met her. She died in 1962 aged 36, leaving 75% of her wealth including all her personal effects to her acting coach, Lee Strasberg and his Paula, to whom she had become very close. But Paula died four years later and Lee remarried the following year, to a Venezuelan woman called Anna Mizrahi. When Lee died in 1982, Anna inherited Marilyn's estate.

Although Monroe had asked that her belongings be distributed to her friends and colleagues, Lee stored everything in two vast warehouses instead. It proved to be a goldmine for Anna, who put hundreds of items up for auction at Christie's. The sale generated $13.4m. She gave some of the money to charity, but kept most of it for herself. She also hired a lawyer to start selling licensing rights, so that the star's image appeared on everything from scratchcards to novelty telephones. In 2010, she sold what was left of the estate for a reported $20-30m.

The remaining 25% had been left to Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr Marianne Kris. She spent years trying to get hold of her share, which she eventually bequeathed to the Anna Freud Centre in North London, to support its work with children experiencing mental illness.

I found this information in the 'Obituaries' section of 'The Week' magazine (27 January 2024, p. 36). Anna Strasberg died at the beginning of this year, aged 84.

Children and young people are at the heart of our Centre of Excellence, both symbolically and in actuality. At the centre of the campus is Pears Family School, a school for children who have been excluded, or at risk of exclusion, from mainstream education.

We want the impact of this building to be felt far beyond this organisation; through the influence we can have on policy and practice nationally and internationally, and via the mental health professionals we train and inspire. It embodies our aspiration to transform mental health support by putting children and families at the heart of all we do.

“Thank you to everyone here today for being enthusiastic about Heads Together. We launched the campaign last year and are extremely proud to support the life-changing work of our eight Charity Partners. We are also very grateful for the support of our Founding Partners.

Mental health matters to each and every one of us. It matters just as much as our physical health. The crews I have worked with, whether RAF Search and Rescue or Air Ambulance, must take their mental health as seriously as they do their physical health or else they would not cope – and, actually, that is true for everybody at some time or another in their life. There are times when, whoever we are, it is hard to cope with challenges – and when that happens being open and honest and asking for help is life-changing.

Talking to someone else is a positive and confident step to take – but for too long it has been a case of ‘Keep Quiet and Carry On’. As a result, too many people have suffered in silence for too long, and the effects of this can be devastating.

The three of us are really optimistic that things are changing. We believe that 2017 can mark a tipping point for mental health – a moment when more and more people no longer feel they have to bear the weight alone for fear of judgment.p>

It is no exaggeration to say that conversations – simple conversations – can be life-changing: in a workplace, in your kitchen at home, with a friend, family member or colleague.

And that’s what Catherine, Harry and I want to do – we want more people to be having those conversations.

It is our ambition to make this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon the Mental Health Marathon – a major opportunity to help change the conversation on mental health, and to get people talking. And for that, we really need your help.”

– The Duke of Cambridge

“As William has said we have heard time and time again in the course of our work how talking can help heal the hidden challenges we can’t deal with alone. We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.

Yet, the challenge that so many people have is not knowing how to take that first step of reaching out to another person for help. Admitting that they are not coping. Fear, or reticence, or a sense of not wanting to burden another, means that people suffer in silence – allowing the problem to grow larger and larger unchecked.

William, Harry and I have been very privileged to witness in the course of our work countless examples of simple conversations that have changed lives, which were the first step on a path to recovery. Just last week at the Anna Freud Centre, I heard from one mother how talking to a support worker was – in her words – like medicine. Simply by having someone there to have a conversation with helped her immensely.

So the question that William, Harry and I have asked ourselves is how we can get more people to start talking. How do we encourage people to take the first step.

What Heads Together is proposing is that in the weeks leading up to the Marathon, our campaign will showcase people from all walks of life, talking about the life-changing conversations that have helped them with their mental health challenges.

We hope that these real-life examples will serve as encouragement to others to do the same.

If we succeed with this, we will have taken a powerful step in normalizing mental health as an issue in our society, thinking about it as we do our own physical health.

Harry will explain more in a moment about what you can do to help us with this challenge.

But first I would like to introduce Jon, who is running for Heads Together in the Marathon; and Steve, who will tell you the story of how a conversation made such a big difference to their mental health.

Jon and Steve … thank you.”

– The Duchess of Cambridge

“Thank you, Jon and Steve, for sharing your conversation and the impact that it’s had on your lives; and thank you Jon for running for Heads Together. I’m reliably informed that you’ll run it in under four hours! Good luck with your training!

Over 500 people will be running for Heads Together, leading from the front (well perhaps not right at the front!), raising funds for the vital services provided by our Charity Partners. These runners will also be leading by example by starting conversations on mental health with their families, friends and colleagues.

It has been unbelievably encouraging to see that attitudes towards mental health across the country are beginning to change. In the past, the phrase ‘mental health’ would be translated to mental illness. But thankfully that is changing! As a result of family, school or work pressures, everyone’s lives are lived at a frightening pace and these stresses can often seem overwhelming.

Some will ignore the signs of stress, others will insist they’re ok after losing a loved one. Some will be afraid to ask for help, others won’t have anyone to turn to.

One thing is certain, we are all wired differently. We all have mental health; and we’ll say it again and again and again, if you want to be fit, healthy and set yourself up for success then your mental fitness is absolutely as important as your physical fitness. Everyone would get help for a broken leg, so why not seek help for an issue that could hamper you and others around you.

The truth is we can all help each other. You don’t need any qualifications to help your mate out, simply to listen to what they have to say.

At the heart of this campaign is our hope that no-one should be afraid to ask for help, and no-one should worry about knowing how to help. That initial conversation could be the cure, before it has a chance to manifest itself.

The BBC have announced today that they are running a season on mental health to coincide with the Marathon, which is fantastic news. But every single one of you in this room can help too.

You are all role models and highly respected people in your industries - the way you talk about mental health will have a profound effect on millions of people, whether you’re speaking from personal experience or encouraging those around you to do the same.

So please could I encourage you all to have a conversation with the Heads Together team, who are here today, and share your ideas.

We need as many people as possible – famous or not – who can help showcase what it’s like to have a conversation with a friend, family or stranger. All your ideas are welcome.

I would now like to introduce Rio Ferdinand – a sporting legend but perhaps, just as importantly, someone who is leading the way in talking openly about mental health.

I first met Rio last summer when he joined our Heads Together BBQ and I talked with him, his dad and friend Ben about how the support we give each other can help us through the darkest of times and come out a stronger person.”

– Prince Harry

Kate Middleton To Make First Public Appearance Since Announcing Pregnancy On World Mental Health Day

The Duchess has been on bed rest suffering from extreme morning sickness.

Ever since the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William announced they were expecting their third child earlier this month, the mother-of-two has been on bed rest while she battles severe morning sickness.

But royal fans will be delighted to hear that Kate is expected to be well enough to make her first public appearance since her pregnancy news next month.

It’s just been announced that Kate will attend a reception on World Mental Health Day with William and Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace on 10 October.

According to Kensington Palace, the event will recognise those working in the public health sectors, as well as giving them an platform to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide.

Kate, William and Harry will also be joined by guests from leading mental health organisations.

The royal trio are dedicated to bringing awareness to mental health and their campaign Heads Together, which aims to end the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

Earlier this week, the Duchess appeared in a video for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, in which children were encouraged to talk about their ‘big’ and ‘small’ feelings as part of the charity’s new campaign,’You’re never too young to talk mental health.’

Kate is patron of the charity, and introducing an animated film for children on the subject of mental health, she said:

‘Hello, mental health is how we feel and think. Things that can’t really be seen but that affect us every day, and talking about them can feel difficult.

‘It helps us all to talk about our mental health: what to say and who to talk to when we have feelings that are too big to manage on our own and how to listen and help if one of our friends is finding things difficult.

‘Sometimes it’s just a simple conversation that can make things better.’

News of Kate’s first public appearance also comes days after her husband hinted we’d be expecting baby number three sooner than we previously thought.

Kensington Palace confirmed the news Kate and William were expecting their third child earlier this month, adding that ‘the Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news’.

The big question on our minds is what will she wear for her first public appearance since announcing she was pregnant.

Place your bets, now.

Kate, who’s currently suffering from extreme morning sickness, features in a new video released by Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families about children’s mental health.

The Duchess introduces an animated film which explains how to talk about feelings, a new campaign titled ‘You’re Never Too Young to Talk Mental Health’ which aims to give parents and teachers free resources to support children learning about their mental health.

In a statement, Kate said: ‘As parents, we all want our children to have the best possible start in life, Encouraging children to understand and be open about their feeling can give them the skills to cope with the ups and down that life will throw at them as they grow up.

The campaign features an animated film co-produced by children & teachers, and includes an introduction by The Duchess, Patron of @AFNCCF. pic.twitter.com/hIkB6UCy8x

‘It’s important that our children understand that emotions are normal, and that they have the confidence to ask for help if they are struggling.

‘This is why I am proud to support the You’re never too young to talk mental health campaign by the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, which is being rolled our across primary schools this autumn.

‘This campaign’s resources are excellent tools to support parents. They demonstrate how we can help children express their feelings, respond appropriately, and prevent small problems from snowballing into bigger ones.’

The materials will be sent to every primary school in England, which includes assembly and lesson plans to enable them to use the animation in school for World Mental Health Day.

According to the charity, half of all life-time mental health problems start by the age of 14, and 20% of adolescents may experience a mental health problem in any given year.

It’s not the first time Kate, who’s a patron of the Anna Freud charity, has spoken out about mental health.

As an ambassador for the charity campaign #YoungMindsMatter last year, the Duchess said that as a parent, she hoped to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings from an early age.

‘We know there is no shame in a young child struggling with their emotions or suffering from a mental illness,’ she wrote at the time.

Prince Harry has also been open about mental health before, saying he regrets not talking about his feelings after his mother’s death.
