a serious mental illness,

is that we've failed them.

It's a little bit like

if someone had diabetes

and they go into a coma.

That's part

of the illness, right?

But if they get treated,

that should never happen--

if they get treated well,

and that's where we've--

we've let people down.

We need to understand

that treatment before tragedy

is not only possible,

but it should become

our reality.

And that's-- it's gonna take

some tough conversations.

Liza:
This is

about helping people

who are suffering,

and we know

that if we can get

children treatment,

we can change

the whole course,

not only

of a child's life,

but of an entire

family's life.

Stacy:
Oh, over here.

What kind of penguins

are there?

Hi, penguin.

Stacy:
Hey. I wish one

of them would go in right now.

Ethan:

Hey, Mom, watch.

Stacy:

Absolutely. I see.

Elexa:
Look at the--

Ethan:

Look, I see one

over there.

Good afternoon.

It's always polite

to say that.

You want a taste?

Mmm.

You're welcome.

I wouldn't go to heaven

if I didn't share.

Mm-mmm.

If I don't share,

I can't go to heaven.

No, I can't, actually.

Well, you know why?

Because in hell,

they're controlling you.

Here you want me

to hold yours?

Stacy:

Well, that's very nice

of you, Ethan.

Here, let me see the spoon.

Do you want-- do you want--

sorry. Oh, 'cause you

want to play with it?

Elexa:
Mmm!
