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.

Throughout my work with family and child support organizations, one thing that has stood out to me time and again is that getting early support for a child who is struggling to cope is the best possible thing we can do to help our children as they grow up.

No parent would fail to call the doctor if their child developed a fever.

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

Some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask.

I feel very, very lucky that George has got a little sister.
