It's always critical when we're looking at that funding. You need the data to support it, but you need the funding to get the data, so it's kind of a chicken-and-egg situation. If we can look into the impact on children when the rise of adult mental health concerns is high, which correlates with your frontline workers, that's where I'm coming back to that point.
I was going to chat with the other witnesses here about this. There's a lot of research around neuroscience and co-regulation. We can't show up and be the best parent or the best employee or the best frontline worker when we are so distracted. So, we're taking away from children's ability to be children, basically, which is detrimental to their long-term health and these long-term issues that we see.
I would love to see in this committee if we can start to focus on data, because I think it will give you more opportunity to access funding, quite frankly, because that's what we need to see.
If I could turn to Krystal.... I really loved what you were talking about with regard to the education system. When we look at mental health, in children and young girls in particular, there's the prevention, the end of things that really saves us those dollar-figure amounts here in our health care system.
Are you familiar with the work of Dr. Stuart Shanker or self-regulation, co-regulation and its being offered as a...? Would you support its being offered as a federally funded program, or more federally funded programs that teach children to recognize their emotions, their responses to their emotions, their feelings, and give a name to them so they can better self-regulate?
