Local youth centre is chosen as role model for development in Perth CLINTON - The Huron Centre for Children and Youth has added another ac- complishment to its list of successes. On February 18 the Centre learned that it has been chosen as a role model for the development of a 'children's mental health centre in Perth County. Huron Centre Director Don Keillor said that the news was exciting for the Clinton based agency. "The tables have turned," he said, noting that Clinton is in,the position of providing a larger urban centre with the basis for a quality service. Huron County has been served by the • Huron Centre for Children and Youth for seven years, but neighboring Perth County has never had a service of the same type. For the past two years acChilciren'-s ,Men- tal Health Canriiiftee '1Perth has 'been working to make such a centre a reality in - that county. With support from the Ministry of Community and Social Services the com- mittee invited five proposals from area health and -social agencies for -the dev-eiop- ment of a centre in Perth. • Proposals from the Perth Children's Aid, the Stratford General Hospital,Family Counselling Services, and independent cen- tre and the Huron Centre for Children and Youth were considered. After detailed study, the proposal submit- ted by Huron Centre was chosen as a model. As architects for the new Perth agency, the Huron Centre will develop a children's mental health centre for the county. It will be based in Stratford and will also serve Listowel and St. Marys. Mr. Keillor Says that the project will get underway in the near future, as soon as financing is available. He is hopeful that the Ministry of Community and Social Services will provide the funding. The new centre will offer a children's counselling service and education programs for families in Perth County. Presently the county doesn't have a full time service of this type and the Huron Cen- tre has been providing some. assistance. Staff from the Huron Centre visit Stratford and Listowel two days a week, and in 1984 about 20 per cent of the Huron Centre clients came from Perth County.. The Huron Centre for Children 'and Youth, withits main office at 160 Huron St, Clinton, was established seven years ago. It provides family and individual counselling for children and parents with social and behavioral problems, who -are experiencing stressful situations at home and school. In 1984 the Centre worked with 316 client families.. The Huron Centre has worked on many pilot projects ranging from parent -teenager communications, to divorce mediation. Counsellors at the Huron Centre are cur- rently working on a new pilot project, a self- help group for wife battering men in Huron County. Traffic is unbelievable in city_ it seems that winter is over and the "cold blasts. from Canada" are not expected in this southern clime halfway down the penin- sula of Florida. know the northern area will still be vulnerable- but from Sarasota -about the halfway mark -it should be on the warm side. Yesterday it was 82 degrees and steamy. ,Last weekend we managed to make it as far south as Fort Myers. With highway 75 it should have taken us about two hours but I got LOST. The traffic is unbelievable in and out of the city.

The Huron Centre for Children and Youth, based in Clinton, has been chosen to develop the children's mental health service for Perth County. Their proposal was selected by the Children's Mental Health Committee, which met Monday morning Feb. 18 to hear presentations from five potential sponsoring agencies. The five proposals represented a broad range of organizaticinal .ar- rangements and community support for children's mental health. Dr. Susan Tamblyn, chairman of the Children's Mental Health Committee, ex- pressed the committee's gratitude to the agencies who submitted proposals, and acknowledged the dedication of all concern- ed to improved services for children in the county.
