Agency offers varied counselling
Service expands to Perth
Family relationships are the most
powerful force affecting young peo-
ple, says the director of Huron and
Perth Centres for Children and Youth
and when that relationship isn't run-
ning smoothly, his agency is there to
help.
Family and peer group counselling
as well as parenting programs offered
by the agency all focus on making
family relationships more har-
monious. says its director Don
Keillor.
This service has been available in
Iluron County since 1976. Part-time
staff ventured into Perth County in
1982, working out of the Perth health
unit building in Stratford and Listowel
Memorial Hospital. It's now coming
to Perth full-time.
For the past couple of years,
various agencies in Perth County
banded together and recognizing a
short fall in children's mental health
services, recommended to the provin-
cial government that such services be
made available. Several agencies
competed for the opportunity to pro-
vide the service, but the Huron group
was awarded the contract.
The ministry of community and
social services is providing an annual
budget of $230,000 to run the Perth of-
fice. Keillor said new offices in the
Festival Square in -downtown Strat-
ford are now being renovated.
Keillor is pleased that the provin-
cial government is providing the
dollars for the program during this
time of restraint. The need for such
a service is there, he says.
About 20 percent of our caseload is
in Perth County and it's increasing
rapidly," says the director.
The agency's work revolves around
children, but Keillor says you can't in-
volve children without bringing in the
entire family. However, the older a
child gets, the more he or she is
treated on an independent basis.
The problems the agency deals with
usually revolve around behaviorial
changes or communication break
down. Family breakdown or the death
of a parent' or other relative as well
as peer pressure can be the cause of
some of a child's behavioral changes.
"In this day and age, to reach out
and get advice is a tribute to good
parenting," said Keillor explaining it
takes maturity to know when outside
help is needed.
Some problems may be caused by
disease, but that is rare, says the
director.
"Adults can talk about their feel-
ings, but children don't always know
what's wrong," says Keillor.
Children are referred to the centre
from schools, family physicians,
friends, or the family take the initial
step on its own.
"We work closely and very suc-
cessfully with the schools," the direc-
tor says.
Services to be offered in Perth
County will be similar to those in
Huron, although the director said he
doesn't want to duplicate services
already available in the county.
There will be group delta which is
a voluntary group for teenagers,
systematic training for effective
parenting or STEP as well as regular
counselling. In the planning stages is
an adolescent group treatment pro-
gram for young offenders referred to
the counselling program by the
courts.
Other programs could evolve as the
staff perceives a need for something
in the community.
Keillor will oversee the two agen-
cies. C1e4ical staff at the Huron office
in Clinton will handle payroll artd
other administrative duties.
Laurie Thompson and Janet
Hughes, the current social workers in
Perth, will continue full-time and
Bonnie Reberg will be a half-time
social worker. Her husband, Dr. Doug
Reberg will be the on staff
psychologist.
The administration of the agency is
overseen by a board of directors.
Mary McMane of Milverton has serv-
ed as the Perth County representative
during this period oP transition.
A new board was elected at the
agency's recent annual meeting and
Perth and Huron have equal
representation. Frpm Perth are, Dr.
Janice Coates of Stratford, John Pat-
terson of Listowel, John Gilbert of
Stratford, Donna Alderson of St.
Marys and Kathy Robinsdn of
Stratford.
The agency is also developing its
own speaking circuit. The director
says 60 to 70 speaking engagements
were met by staff last year in Huron
County alone.

This week, A and H Food Market Ltd. is pleased to an-
nounce that our store has become a member of the new
and growing E.M.A. food store chain.
The "SUPERIOR" sign which has been a part of our name
for the past 28 years has been changed, we think, for the
better. About 3 months ago, our wholesaler, Elliott Marr
and Co. Ltd., advised us that they were discontinuing the
Superior chain. The chain provided good prices, adequate
specials, and friendly service but lacked a unity which -'is
found in major food store chains. E.M.A. FOODS will pro-
vide all these services, and more.
First of all, PRICING. Prices are -a concern to all con-
sumers, and we feel our new pricing will be even better
than it has been. We now are a part of the largest grocery
buying group in Canada, and with this buying power
comes lower costs. Because of this, you will see better
prices on our weekly features, as well as hundreds of in-
store features which will save you extra money every
day. These in-store features usually last about a month
and each one displays the amount saved, as well as the
expiry date.
Our everyday shelf prices will remain in almost every
case, exactly the same. Many of our customers realize
through comparison how low these prices have been. We
invite you to compare them as well, and we feel that this
overall ,pricing we have will save our customers extra
money on their weekly grocery bill.
Our friendly staff is still here to welcome you to our
store, and help you with anything you might need. A
smile and a warm hello has never been too much to ask
of us, and we will endeavor to keep ourselves true to our
reputation.
You- will notice many physical changes over the next
few weeks as you walk 'thr9ugh our new E.M.A. FOODS
store such as new signs, new colours, aisle identifiers, and
basically an overall "supermarket" look. •
But please remember; our staff will be as friendly as
ever, and our prices will be as competitive as they have
always been.
Hoping to see you soon!
Yours sincerely
