I have one last question. We have another group outside as well. With secondary schools, we are often afraid to speak of issues around teenagers, sexuality and everything like that, and also suicide. These problems only hit in the teenage years at 15, 16 and 17 years of age. Does Professor Downes feel we need counsellors to meet those types of challenges head on?
