Course offered
for Stepparents
"Seminars for Step-Parents" is
a program which was initiated by
Conestoga College 'to help
concerned step-parents deal more
successfully with their new roles.
Offered monthly, the sessions are
free and the public is invited to
attend all or any meetings of
special interet to them.
The next meeting will be held
Monday, March 6, 1978 at 7:30
p.m. in. the Kitchener Public
library Lounge (downstairs). A
presentation by Peter .Birch,
Consultant, Board of EdueatiOn
on the Rackets and Games
Children Use" will be followed by
group discussion.
The program started when a
group of women concerned about
step-parenting approached
Patricia Carter, Women's Advisor
at Conestoga College, after a
Positive Parenting lecture. Ms.
Carter took their concerns to Jim
Dickinson at the Children's Aid
Society (CAS) and together they
organized four step-parenting
seminars last spring.
The sessions were so successful
that another one was held in the
fall to determine if group wished
to continue, and they have been
riveting monthly since that time.
The regular group has assumed
responsiblity for programming,
but Mr. Dickinson and Ms. Carter
continue to offer organization and
advice.
At present, Conestoga and CAS
continue to sponsor the grOp.
Regular meetings are scheduled
until May.
About 20 people attend the
meetings where small group
discussioris are sparked by a
speaker, a film or presentation.
The participants who are mainly
couples, find the sessions a
growth and sharing experience
lietvveen themselves and others in
the group .
