Mr. Chairman, as mentioned earlier, the department is doing a comprehensive review of the mental health programs, both from the in-patient psychiatric and the flow-through for coordination, mental health and addictions. We hope to have that review completed in the spring. The people conducting the review and working with getting authority and community input are actually given the direction to ensure that it is not southern program but that it reflects the North and the Territory’s needs and the cultural component, their recommendations around the family component. We do currently offer family counselling in the areas of if there are members of violence, children who witness violence, and on mental health and addictions, but it is not a said family program, it is family specific at this time. Thank you.
