How are the programs aligned?

Gale A. Brewer

You are doing what you can, but I don't know if you can make sure that every kind of program that's needed is available.

Gale A. Brewer

I mean, I know, for instance, I have a friend whose daughter is mentally ill.

Gale A. Brewer

She got arrested, tried to kill her mother and her brother.

Gale A. Brewer

And, you know, it's hard.

Gale A. Brewer

There aren't a lot of programs to fit her.

Gale A. Brewer

We spent two days, the two of us, calling around.

Gale A. Brewer

We found one that might work, et cetera.

Gale A. Brewer

So how do we need other kinds of programs?
