The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started their second day of their Irish tour by by visiting an organisation which provides mental health support to young people.
Jigsaw provides vital support to people aged between 12 and 25 across a range of one-to-one, community, school and online services.
After hearing about young people's experiences with the charity, the Duke and Duchess joined a conversation with community campaigners, teachers, parents and coaches.
They discussed how Jigsaw’s work has a positive impact within local communities.
The wellbeing of young people is a topic very close to Kate's heart, she recently appeared on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast to talk about the wellbeing of children.
She said, 'The environments you spend time in: a happy home, a safe environment.
'As children, we spent a lot of time outside and it’s something I’m really passionate about.

'I think it’s so great for physical and mental wellbeing and laying [developmental] foundations.
'It’s such a great environment to spend time in, building those quality relationships.'
Prince William has also long been championing mental health conversations.
The Duke and Duchess are expected to carry out at least four royal engagements on their second day in Ireland.
After meeting young people at Jigsaw, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will also visit Savannah House, a residential facility run by social justice charity, Extern, which operates across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The facility provides a safe space to support vulnerable young people and families who are going through challenging times.
