So for instance, if we have a family that is presenting with drug misuse or mental health concerns, we have our family treatment rehabilitation programs.
1:22:23
Those programs are the staffing structure, are specific to address those specific issues.
1:22:30
Equally, if we have a family, for instance, with a baby, in this attachment issue and trauma, we will, do our best to match that family to our, CPP program or child and parent psychotherapy.
1:22:44
So we you should expect a difference in terms of the different program types.
1:22:50
That part of the reason why we have, each model available at each borough so that regardless of where you live, your family circumstances should be matched to your need.
