Dr. Tony Miller, ex chief
psychologist at Goderich
Psychiatric Hospital says taht
plans for a $185,000 children's
mental health program in Huron
County moved a step closer to
reality this week and now needs
only financila approval from
Queen's Park.
The service to childre n and
adolescents in Huron County was
planned after Dr. Gillian
Dougherty of the children's
mental health services in the
ministry of health advised staff at
GPH that $185,000 had been
The Ontario Youth Secretariat,
responsible for co-ordinating the
provincial government's special
$10.3 million summer employ-
ment program, Ontario Exper-
ience '76, is now extending the
closing date for post secondary
applicants.
The final date for the receipt of
post-secondary appliCations was
originally advertised as Monday,
April 5, 1976. However, in an
effort to ensure that all the
province's youth have ample
opportunity to apply for one of the
7,800 positions offered by this
program, the Experience '76
Co-ordination Unit will extend the
closing date to Monday, April 12,
1976.
The Secretariat believes the
allowance of one extra week for
post-secondary students to mail
in their Experience '76 applica-
tions is in the best interests of
young people's needs, especially
those living in some of the
province's more remote areas.

earmarked in the child and
adolescent service to establish
such a program in the Goderich
area.
The service is primarily
designed to provide , diagnostic
services for children from infancy
to 19 years of age in Huron
County. The committee plans to
consult closely with organizations
already dealing with the age
group to attempt to add to their
programs and prevent a
duplication of services.
Some of the needs for a mental
health service are counselling
For this reason, the Youth
Secretariat has directed all part-
icipating Ministries to accept this
later application deadline.
services for both children and
parents, special education facili-
ties for children and specific
learning disabilities, educational
programs for child workers to
enable them to recognize
problems and provide some input
into their diagnosis, group homes
for children and shelter for
children in emergency situations
or crisis.
The administrative problems
faced by the steering committee
begin with the establishment of a
legal board to handle the
paperwork involved in the
program. They re also concerned
with the location of their
services, staffing patterns, space
requirements and a delivery
system.
The Huron area is home for
about 15,000 people in the infancy
to 19 year old group. The program
is entirely new to the county and
according to Dr. Miller is the
result of the GPH closing. He said
the staff of GPH was working
toward a community based
service explaining that this
program was both good and bad
for mental health.
He said the closing of the
hospital removed any active
treatment services in the
community denying the children
the opportunity to remain in their
community if they need hospital
care. he added, however, that the
move into the public forum in
community treatment was a step
forward.
The steering committee hopes
to expand their membership in
the future trying to attain a better
balance between professionals
and layment.. they are also
seeking ideas from the
community on how to provide
mental health services for
children and are seeking public
support.
