★ 2023年世界心理健康日致辞 ★

Good afternoon everyone. William and I areabsolutely delighted to be with you here in  Birmingham on World Mental Health Day for our Royal Foundation Youth Forum.

各位下午好。能在世界心理健康日来伯明翰参加皇家基金会青年论坛,我和威廉都感到非常高兴。

Mentalhealth is something we both care deeply about and back in 2016 we launched Heads Together, a campaign supported by so many wonderful partners that help break the stigma around mental health  and encourage more people to have everyday conversations about it.

心理健康一直是我们非常关心的事情,早在2016年,我们就发起了“一起面对”的运动,这是一项由许多优秀合作伙伴支持的运动,旨在解决与心理健康有关的社会污名,并鼓励人们更加自由地谈论心理健康。

Alongside the efforts ofmany others we have seen real change today. More people feel empowered to talk about their mental health than ever before, this is a major step forward. William and I continue to be inspired seeing young people like you all here today leading this charge, being particularly brave  in having some of those conversations yourselves.

在众人的努力下,今天我们看到了真正的改变。与以往相比,更多的人感觉有勇气谈论自己的心理健康问题,这是向前迈出的重要一步。我和威廉看到像你们这样的年轻人今天在这里引领着这一潮流,特别是你们自己勇敢地进行了一些这样的对话,我们会继续受到鼓舞。

As a generation you value and talk more about yourmental health than any before you, something we truly admire and applaud. It is important however to remind ourselves of the big picture as we meet here today.

你们这一代人,比以往任何一代人都更加重视和关注自己的心理健康,这是我们由衷钦佩和赞赏的。然而,在我们今天相聚于此之际,提醒自己从大局出发是非常重要的。

What are we trying toimprove by focusing our efforts on mental health? Ultimately we are working to build a happier, healthier world. We want to shape fairer, safer, kinder, more equal societies.

我们将工作重点放在心理健康上,是为了改善什么呢?归根结底,我们致力于建设一个更快乐、更健康的世界。我们希望塑造一个更公平、更安全、更友好、更平等的社会。

Societies that seekthe common good and a better future together for just as we need to restore protect and invest in our planet, so we must also restore protect and invest in our communities, relationships and  people living on it.

正如我们需要恢复、保护和投资于我们的地球一样,我们也必须恢复、保护和投资于我们的社区、人际关系和生活在地球上的人们。

We believe that that startswith you, our young people, but it also means all of us because when you think about it we can each shape the world in which we live.

我们相信,这始于你们,我们的年轻人,但也意味着我们所有人。因为当你思考这个问题时,我们每个人都可以塑造我们生活的世界。

So we know,like you, that simply talking about mental health is just not enough because although many more conversations are now taking place, it is now vital we spend more time focusing on how we talk about mental health and crucially what we're going to do to build positive, preventative solutions to one of today's toughest challenges.

因此,我们知道,就像你们一样,仅仅谈论心理健康是不够的。因为虽然现在进行了更多的对话,但现在至关重要的是我们花更多的时间关注我们如何谈论我们的心理健康,关键是:我们将采取什么行动,建立积极的、预防性的解决方案来应对当今最严峻的挑战之一。

Positive mental health is shaped byour ability to understand and manage ourselves as individuals and to connect with others through our relationships, friendships, families and communities.

积极的心理健康取决于我们作为个体理解和管理自己的能力,以及通过人际关系、友谊、家庭和社区与他人建立联系的能力。

We are living in a world howeverthat is changing so fast where social media and concerns about the threat of conflict, pandemics, climate change or the cost of living can impact our emotional wellbeing and future  hopes dramatically.

然而,我们生活的世界瞬息万变,社交媒体的发展,对冲突威胁、流行病、气候变化以及生活成本的担忧,都会极大地影响我们的情绪健康和对未来的希望。

On top of this, as youngpeople, this can also be a time in your lives when you perhaps feel the vulnerability of growing independence and self-consciousness but by gaining a deeper insight into ourselves we'll be better equipped to handle the external challenges we all  encounter.

此外,作为年轻人,你们人生中的这段时期,你们可能会因为日渐独立和自我意识的增强而感到脆弱,但通过更深入地了解自己,我们将能更好地应对我们都会遇到的外界挑战。

Today we heard the science and theresearch that backs us up and how crucial it is that we develop the skills needed to navigate everything we'll face in the future.

今天,我们听到了支持我们的科研成果,以及我们培养应对未来所面临的一切所需技能的重要性。

William andI believe we need to do all we can as a society to help young people develop the emotional and social life skills they need for good mental health and to thrive in the world around them. Both learning about the world and learning about how to be happy and thrive within within it, should go hand in hand.

我和威廉都认为,作为一个社会,我们需要尽我们所能帮助年轻人发展情感和社交生活技能,他们需要良好的心理健康,并在周围的世界中茁壮成长。了解这个世界和学习如何在这个世界中快乐成长,应该是齐头并进的。

So if we talk about mental health, with this in mind, it need not have so many negative connotations. We can choose to see our emotional worlds and mental wellbeing in a different light. We can normalise it and recognise it as something we all have  and require as human beings.

因此,如果我们谈论心理健康,考虑到这一点,它就不需要有那么多负面的含义。我们可以选择从不同的角度来看待我们的情感世界和心理健康。我们可以将其正常化,并将其视为我们作为人类所拥有和需要的东西。

This will be a keyfocus for us both as we build on Heads Together. Thank you so much for all of you for joining us today. Together let's build a brighter more resilient future.

这将是我们双方共同努力的重点。非常感谢大家今天的到来。让我们共同建设一个更光明、更具弹性的未来。
