Somewhere along the way we lost focus and vision on what are true responsibilities are. Current leadership will ruin GNS and lead to something catastrophic.

Anyone who has ever worked inside an institution knows when big sexual incidents are taking place, plus anything other that is a big deal; people know about it. Getting people to talk is the problem. There are those involved, those who just watch and state nothing, those who activly cover-up, and those that simply don't care. Even though not in charge, if you watch and allow it, you are part of the problem!

However, with the dearth of qualified SO therapists, this program may need to be located in major metro areas. As for CD and MH, those will probably be possible in each region. Mostly, it will apply to internal support services. As to the contracting of program services, I'm nor sure of the justification for continuing to look at contracted residential care since it now is more costly to run. It is, however, very costly to start up these programs even within the state system, so perhaps the cost balances out in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
