Family violence is a subject we
often try to avoid. But it's a reality
for many families in Huron County.
With help, many families for whom
violence has become an everyday
experience can learn new and
healthier ways to deal with their
problems.
As friends, neighbors and
relatives, we can learn to recognize
and report suspected abuse of
children as a first step to helping end
the violence. This is the first of a
regular column on the activities of
the Family and Children's Services
of Huron County.
Family and Children's Services is
a child -protection agency establish-
ed under the Child and Family
Services Act Ontario. In other
counties, it is sometimes known as
the Children's Aid Society.
The agency is responsible for the
investigation, assessment and
treatment of families where a
problem of child neglect, emotional,
physical or sexual abuse exisits. It
also provides family counselling and
assistance with child -behavior
management.
Foster care for children who
would be at risk of harm if they
remained the family home and relief
for parents who need a break from
their children also are provided. In
addition, adoption services and
p'egnancy counselling are avail-
able,
As of Nov. 1 of this year, Family
and Children's Services ` was
providing service to 229 families in
Huron County, involving 420
children. The agency had 54 children
in its care, staying with foster
families or in the agency's licenced
group home.
The" e6; e"rii'rentl 'teas` 5i vap�
proved foster homes in which it can
place children. The majority of
children in care presently are
adolescents,
Perhaps the largest y
support program undertaken by the
agency is the an.nual Christmas
Bureau. Pauline Lingard of Grand
Bend is 'coordinating p _
for year. )
Money was donated to the bureau
and that enabled each family to bie
provided help with Christmas
dinner, a toy and items of clothing for
each child, a small gift for the
parents and mittens for the entire
family.
