T -A photo 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 ""01111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Lt the Health Hut bulk foods * health care products * vitamins * herbs * exercise equipment 466 MAIN ST., EXETER NORTH OF DEVON BUILDING S to �1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIII11111111111111I 111111 II 111111 I II III II II II I I I IIIII II II IIIIIIII� E 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.
