| 0:00.0 | We are losing too many kids. Kids with so much potential. Kids with talent and gifts the world |
| 0:07.9 | really needs. And the pain and devastation left behind for parents, family, and friends as a whole |
| 0:13.6 | that can never get filled. So I want every parent to know exactly what they can do to support their |

| 1:56.8 | but regardless, it's always been something to be addressed. So today, I'm going to talk about the current |
| 2:01.8 | state of mental health and our children, what often contributes to and detracts from mental health, |
