So we need more outreach, we need more education, we need more interaction with young people, we need a social media blitz because we're not we're not gonna take down TikTok overnight or even regulate it in the way that we probably think it should be.

2:23:54

So are you anticipating funding streams in order to expand and really grow our strategies in in these, you know, local councils, in the social media, in direct interaction with young people, because we wanna help.

2:24:09

We really, really, really, really wanna help, is but we're also limited in what we could do.

2:24:15

Is there some sort of federal funding?

2:24:17

Are we looking at something that can help grow the strategies that we have implemented that we know that are working?
