DHC names first Mental Health Planner
The Huron Perth District Health
Council Chair Jeff Wilbee, has
announced the hiring of the
council’s first employee.
George Stock of the Tavistock
area has been hired on a one-year
contract to fill the position of
mental health planner. In this new
role, Mr. Stock will work with and
assist council's Mental Health
Implementation Committee,
chaired by Terry Fadelie, chief
executive officer of St. Marys
Memorial Hospital, in planning and
co-ordinating mental health
services throughout Huron and
Perth Counties.
The work of the mental health
planner is part of the provincial
mental health reform strategy with
the objective of providing more
community-based services oriented
and directed to the needs of
consumers. Recently, the Minister
of Health postponed further
financial restraints on provincial
psychiatric hospitals until there are
adequate community services in
place.
Consultations with consumers
and their families, service providers
and other members of the
community, will be necessary to
identify local mental health needs
and develop the strategy to
effectively address them.
A dairy farmer and community
activist, Mr. Stock brings to the
role over 20 years of volunteer
leadership and rural community
development experience in Ontario,
Alberta and Saskatchewan. He was
chair of the Ontario Cream
Producers' Marketing Board from
1986 to 1990 and worked for the
Oxford County Branch of the
Canadian Mental Health
Association in Woodstock from
1992 to 1994.
Mr. Stock started his duties on
Oct. 31. He currently works out of
the Canadian Mental Health
Association, Perth County, office in
Stratford. It is expected that he will
move into the District Health
Council offices when they are
established in Mitchell.
I would like to thank the Ratepayers of
Grey Township who supported me in
the polls on November 14.
