We are the end result of this work.

And we are the people who have been using these digital tools and devices for a long time.

So I think having lived experience expertise embedded into from the very beginning, I think will provide direction and will spare sometimes

expensive mistakes or misdirections, just guiding us directly to what the core problems are and how to solve them.

I do think it can be hard.

I won't talk about my past, but I think I share with a lot of lived experience advocates and advisors.

uh in this space which i also think i share with the rest of the team and all the people who have poured their efforts into regulating digital spaces uh is it may seem negative it may seem that we're trying to curtail things or or like you know be wet blankets of sorts but i think it's it's it's passion for the future we know the power that goes into digital tools we know the hard work that people pour into

making sure that mental health care is accessible.

And also we know the power of AI as it is.

It's sweeping the world.

It's changing the way we work.

It's changing the way people access the internet and work on it.

So I think this is just the first step in sort of regulating digital tools, especially for mental health.

But I think

It's just creating a little bit of a beginning for what I hope is going to be a widespread movement taken on by governments and policymakers across the world.
