Quotes from our honoured key note speakers

Mette Frederiksen, Prime mininster of Denmark

“We will support you in your job. Because no one can expect a child, who has been through hell, to pull him or herself out of their terrible past all alone. They need our help, and therefore the Save the Children effort and focus on MHPSS is so important.”  
Rasmus Prehn, Denmark’s then Minister for Development Cooperation

“When it comes to ensuring mental health and wellbeing, it is important that we work on these concepts on a wider scale. And I am so happy with the strategic cooperation we have, and that mental health and psychosocial support is incorporated into more humanitarian aid efforts.”  

 
His Royal Higness The Crown Prince of Denmark

“To ensure a good childhood for a child is the most significant kind of job you can do.”
