Thanksgiving, or by early December. The survey will be available on tablets, with  
paper copies provided for individuals on disciplinary status. The survey will remain  
open for approximately one month, though the timeline may be adjusted to ensure

incorporating equestrian trades and therapy, providing legal and firefighting training  
opportunities, and offering family engagement and whole family support services. Other
