I think one thing is to advocate for more research, and research happens in many different areas, but the National Institute of Mental Health does a lot of it. And I think it's also willing to evaluate the possibility of whether your family member, your teenager, your child should be in a research study. People are retisent to have their children in a research studies, and that's understandable. But if you figure out that actually the control group, the group that isn't getting the research intervention, is just getting treatment as usual -- they're not getting some horrible thing done to them -- and that the active group is evaluating an application of a treatment that has probably been shown to be effective for some other problem. Cause we don't have enough kids. We don't have enough kids of color. We don't have enough kids in general in research studies. So advocating for better research and considering for the right study, having your family member or your child in a study, also advances this question.
