Wingham Family and marital counselling Legion services now offered at WDH honors John (Ace) Bateson By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY Family and marital counselling services are now being provided at the Wingham and District Hospital. Beth Bower began providing counselling services at the hospital on Nov. 22. She comes to the Wingham hospital every Wednes- day, providing counselling from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, by March she hopes to be providing evening counselling. She has completed her Master of Theology in Pastoral Counselling at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, and has been counselling for the past three years at the Cam- bridge Interfaith Family Counsel- ling Centre. Bower is currently in a post -degree program in Kitchener. Hospital chief executive officer Lloyd Koch and director of rehabil- itation Pat Pietrak have been instru- mental in getting c.ounselling ser- vices at the Wingham hospital: Koch said when the hospital was doing its strategic planning survey a number of agencies and individu- als said there was a gap in services available at the local hospital.. "One of the services, not availa- ble in Wingham was family and marital counselling," said Koch. "We began looking around to see if we could begin providing the ser- vice." He said that through the Inter- faith Pastoral Counselling Centre in Kitchener, the hospital was put in touch with Bower. Koch said that Bower's private Art show opens at Bainton Gallery in Blyth "Exuberance", the Blyth Com- munity Art Show, was opened last Sunday, Nov. 26, in the Bainton Gallery at the Blyth Festival Thea- tre with a large crowd in atten- dance. The gallery will he open during performances of "Forever Plaid" to- day, Dec. 6, the Festival Singers on Dec. 10 and the Blyth Christmas Concert on Dec. 16.

"We (the hospital) see this as a natural extension of our services to the community," he said. "We are pleased to work with Beth to pro- vide this service." Koch noted that Bower is well- qualified for the position, as she has a number of degrees. "She will definitely strengthen our counselling services at the hos- pital," he said. "We will continue to provide counselling through Tim Sullivan to in -patients, and to a limited extent to out-patients." Koch said that the Wingham and District Hospital is not funded to provide the types of services of- fered by Bower. Bower said that her counselling services are not covered by OHIP, so there will be a fee-for-service charge to people requiring her ser- vices. She said that Pietrak, director of rehabilitation at the Wingham hos pital, was quite involved in getting her started in Wingham. Although she lives in Waterloo. Bower has opened up a private practice in Kincardine. She is in Kincardine one day per week and will also he in Wingham once a week. She has already spoken to a number of local physicians, and to people at Wcscast ,lndustries. She will soon he talking with the Mini- sterial Association and to guidance counsellors at arca schools. Bower said that people don't need a referral from a physician to retrive counselling. She noted that all they have to do is phone the hospital and make an appointment through the rehab department',, secretary Denise Mino. Because she grew up in °Idem tic, a small community of about 120 people outside Windsor. Bow cr is somewhat familiar with the rural way of life. Although she won't have ;til the answers, she may he more under- standing to the problem. faced by rural people than someone who grew up in a big city. Due to cutbacks, agencies al- ready providing counselling ser- vices have had to limit or change services. Therefore, it is possible Bower may have to he in Wing - ham a second day during the week. Bower is aware that weather could he factor during the winter for her getting to Wingham or her clients getting in to see her. Beth Bower...is a new counsellor at the Wingham and District Hospital. She is at the hospital every Wednesday. But, she is used to county driv- ing, as Bower did a lot of driving along township and county roads when she was a public health nurse. As well as a registered nurse, Bower is also an ordained Angli- can priest. Bower said her therapy includes long-term and short-term counsel- ling. "Generally, the goal of counsel- ling is to help people solve prob- lems, gain insights and under- standing of themselves and others, Brian's develop options, explore values, , express feelings. change behav- iors, make choices and,.become empowered," said Bower. She. added that counselling is available for relationship difficul- ties, grief, separation and divorce, sexuality, anxiety, depression, fears, abuse, phobias. behaviorial 'problems, remarriage and step - parenting, work related concerns, existential issues, life planning, and human growth and develop- ment. • John Frederick (Ace) Bateson was presented with the long ser- vice medal by Zone C-1 Com- mander Gord DeJong at the gener- al meeting of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 180,, Wingham, last Tuesday.
