That's good to hear. I know for a fact it is encouraged, simply because my mother worked her entire career in a correctional facility.
I am also glad you brought up the fact that the interests of the child must be considered. Without that piece of it, we don't see a full picture. We could, in fact, be placing children at risk if it is not part of the assessment program. So thank you for clarifying that.
I also want to touch on what you said in your dissertation about maintenance programs in the community, because we all know that as long as they are receiving treatment and they're receiving programming in institutions.... What happens when they leave the institution? Recidivism, falling back into addiction, and those kinds of situations do happen. What maintenance programs do you have, since you touched on it in your speech?
