Mr. Shanahan is the first to occupy the recently created post. .The new Supervisor is. an American by birth (now a landed immigrant to Canada) and has a wide and varied background in. social work south of the border. His elementary and secondary school education was obtained in his•home town of Detroit. and he is a graduate of a school of social work which he attended in New York, New York. Following_.his gra4duation. from that school in 1962, kir. Shanahan was involved in many• fields of practical social • work. Among them—were The Catholic Youth , Organization in Detroit where he was inv91yed in Settlement Hou4e a tips; " Recreation pr+og ens and-Y-ocittf"-Gr ips,He— a 'so also worked with a Mental Health Clinic in Toledo in the outpatients division and then in Windsor with a Community • Psychiatric Hospital. , The why's behind a move, to • Goderich Mr. Shanahan claims .were simply Goderich itself, "We have had many happy experiences around the shores of take Huron, although many of them were on the American side, but we just liked Goderich due to its small,' clean and unpolluted location." • The Shanahan's first moved to Windsor as "a threshold to Canada." From here they looked around for a place to settle down and chose Goderich. Why Canada? "Here in Canada," the new C.A.S. staffer observes, "I can pa fmy taxes and know that my money is not going to '. buy napalm which will be used to bomb babies. I am against'the war and in Canada I feel that very few of my tax dollars go toward military expenses.'.' w� At the Huron County C.A-.S, Mr. -..a Shanahan:wi•1i be responsible for supervising parit-af the- staff ias- well ' as caring for some cases himself, "I hope I can add some.of my previous background to. the work here and make it more ' effective in that way," he added. The new supervisor feels that where emotional factors are S,1'i.,%,,,,,, involved in C.A.S. cases some of '"e— his experience will be beneficial: Observing present trends in C.A.S.,activities 'Mr. Shanahan notes that the Children's Aid will remain an important social agency. "The number of children in tare will not decrease," he stresses. .. "Although the number of young children taken into care is dropping, and will likely continue to drop, the overall _number in care will maintain a' constant number, he says. "More families will be.breaking up since fewer .and fewer people are approaching marriage now with the intention to make it a permanent thing. As a ' result --there will be more children from about nine to 13 years up to teenagers brought into our care, often on a temporary basis." Mr. Shanahan feels that the arrangements will be "less neat." That is -to say • that the children will still maintain partial contact with their natural parents and the C.A.S. will have to ' take this into account. "These children will not come to relate to their foster parents as Mom and Dad anymore•" The Supervisor also feels that there will be an, increased need 'for more foster homes in the future, especially for teenagers. "The changing image of the C.A.S. must ' continue," Mr, �ffanatia'n observes. `We must become involved in fields of family, • counselling, plan group meetings of those with. similar problems, and keep Working at keeping the local •control : of the C,A.S." Pat Shanahanalso thinks the Children's' Aid Society, should become more politically involved, as it relates to passing on suggestions- to the policy _makers on matters that involve the society or oh matters with which the society workers are on the "front line." - "Many times our'workers are, more .,4irectly,, in •contact with. situations arising_;from_ unemployment, education, alcohol and drug abuse, or other social problems. As a result we could no doubt make some strong suggestions or at least contribute some observations in these fields to government." • irumtumuuururnuiitrnrlulllulnnurnmmnuuuurunrtunnnrnnnnnuurulnmrrnnururunumuminluunnmulnutnuuuunnirultumunurllurnonurumtunluurililirruiumnlluiununnmuunnrlrmurnntnf • uIInuaeiomHihIn / / / / / / / ictoria, ie wpoint • MR.
