"THEE PACE TO BUY APPLIANCES" $45,000, grant given to Women. Today for Outreach A total of $45,000 has been granted to Women Today of Huron County to expand the Health Outreach program. The grant comes from the Ministry of Health, and will be used to help women fight health problems. Beth Fulton, the president of Huron County's. Women Today movement says the $45,000 will go toward extending a project Women Today has been sponsoring for the past three years. The new funding will sup- port the project for another two years. The program consists of four major parts: 1. Educational Events for the promotion of good health. These will be larger events which deal with commonly recurring pro- blems such as pre-menstrual syndrome, menopause, smoking, and addictions. These will be held in the larger centres in Huron County, but will be open to the county at large. Women Today will work closely with existing health and social service agencies to organize these events. 2. A mini workshop series will be offered, and workshops will deal with topics such as body image, self esteem, stress manage- ment and peer counselling. 3. A facilitative training process will also be sponsored. The goal of this series of workshops is to offer those who attend skills needed to start their own self help groups in their own communities. An example of a self help group which has started recently is the Integration Action group. Integration Ac- tion is a group which started because the parents of handicapped children saw a need to get their handicapped children in- tegrated. There are other groups which focus on parenting, midwifery, and a varie- ty of subjects. 4. Public speaking is the fourth aspect of the program, and help will be hired to coor- dinate these sessions. "The idea isfunding projects to promote health rather than cure sickness," says Ms. Fulton. Women Today applied for the grant in February, and received the full amount ap- plied for. The program funded by the grant will run for a total of 16 months, with a four month interval between two eight month periods running from August to March. A large part of the grant will go toward paying the salary of a coordinator for the project. The coordinator will make $16,000 salary for the two years. Much of the pro- gram involves volulnteers, but people will be drawn from the community for the training and public speaking workshops and will be paid an honorarium.

The focus of the project will be on women and women's issues, but it is not restricted to them. Women Today is most familiar with the issues surrounding women, and a condition of the funding for their last project was that it be restricted to women. This pro- ject Is not necessarlly for women only. Women Today has a membership of about 150, and approximately 10 per cent of these are men. The group was started in 1980 by a group of women who needed both emotional support and education in certain areas. In the group's early years it focused lamely on family problems, but it has also been mvolv- ed with creating self help groups, women's employment, and daycare. The official pur- pose of the group is to "raise the status and awareness of women in Huron County."
