I think your point is well taken. There are challenges for individuals and families accessing mental health services in big cities, but the situation is compounded in less populous areas. We know, for example, there has been some good work done on delivering mental health services and counselling through telehealth applications. I think there are some things that can be looked at that will certainly help deal with mental health concerns of people living in smaller communities. Clearly, if you have a town of 5,000, 10,000, or even fewer people, it's unlikely there will be a full battery of mental health services available in the community on an ongoing basis. Other ways of delivering services to people in those kinds of settings will be required.
