Our Program Manager, Sarah Bryant, has been working hard to provide PGRC information to the Monroe County Court System. Sarah’s focus is to work more closely with our local justice systems while also providing problem gambling resources to those in need of services. Also, her work has started to take her into counties bordering Monroe, including Wayne County!
