Changes are fast paced
for Huron family services
BY CATH WOODEN
The 70th annual meeting of
the Family and Children's
Services ofHuronCounty was
held March 18 with about 50
board and staff members
attending.
The reports of Executive
Director John Penn, and
board of directors president
Verona Snider reflected the
fast -paced changes in the
family services system. The
new decade is being harald-
ed in Huron County with
different focuses regarding
family and children's ser-
vices.
In 1981. a new system of
funding will be implemented
called the Service Plan ap-
proach. Global budgeting
has been introduced to give
the agency more flexibility
and control over its own ex-
penditures.
At the end of 1979, Huron's
agency had a $56,000 deficit,
which was approved for fun-
ding by the Ministry. In 1980,
an additional $53,000 was
granted to expand Huron's
foster care and child abuse
programs. and an eight per
cent increase was added to
cover inflationary costs.
In his report, John Penn
stated that "the ministry is
to be commended for the
present philosophy regar-
ding child welfare budgets."
The ministry is encouraging
agencies to spend more
money on prevention. and to
find this money in residen-
tial services.
In his report, Penn further
explained the Farpily and
Children's Services' objec-
tive to develop family focus-
ed prevention services aim-
ed at keeping families in-
tact.
Huron's two family ser-
vice units, staffed by ten
social workers, provide
counselling to many families
with problems. The family
service program is es-
tablished to support and
treat families - not to
replace the role of the fami-
ly.
Two new programs were
introduced in 1980:
-the parent therapist
program, aimed at teaching
and supporting parents in
their parenting role, receiv-
ed permanent funding after
a long period -f negotiation

with the ministry.
-in September 1980 a part-
time coordinator of
Volunteer Services was ap-
pointed. reinstating a
program cut in 1975 because
of budgeting problems.
Said Penn, "It is evident
that this prevention message
is getting across to the com-
munity as an increasing
number of couples and
families request counselling
services... Hopefully the pop-
ular image of the children's
aid society as a threatening
'child snatching' organiza-
tion is slowly subsiding, and
a new more positive image
developing.
In 1980. the Ministry of
Community and Social Ser -
vices funded a new posfion
to develop foster care
programs, which has given
increased importance and
priority to Huron County's
foster parents.
The agency participated in
a wide area media recruit-
ment campaign with the
slogan. "Foster Care:
Where Would We Be Without
It?" Twenty-three new
foster families were ap-
proved during the year and
three ongoing foster parent
training and support groups
are presently operating
across the county.
The adoption picture for
local couples remains bleak.

fant adoptions have been
