The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-04-27, Page 3Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, April 27, 1988—Page 3 New counselling program started in Grey -Bruce The Ministry of Health has approved a new drug and alcohol treatment and counselling program for young people in Grey -Bruce. The announcement was made recently by Murray Elston, MPP for Bruce and Chairman of Management Board of Cabinet, and Ron Lipsett, MPP for Grey, on behalf of Health Minister Elinor Caplan. The ministry will provide $175,000 in an- nual operating funds and a one-time capital grant of $18,097 to the Grey -Bruce Community Health Corporation to set up Community Addictions Services for Youth in Owen Sound. The staff, composed of one director and two workers trained to work with young people, will provide assessment, referral and case management services. They may either be referred by other agencies or personally apply for admit- tance into the program. This is one of 37 new or expanded drug and alcohol treatment, counselling and education programs for young people which have received ministry approval for funding effective Apr. 1. Last year, the ministry announced it would spend an additional $5.75 million an- nually to treat and combat drug and alcohol addiction among young people bet- ween 16 and 25. "These new support services will be specifically designed to meet the treat- ment, counselling and educational needs of young people," said Mrs. Caplan. "We want to make the system more responsive and accessible to young people who often have had to make use of existing adult services."

"I know there is widespread concern among the professional and lay communi- ty about the abuse of drugs and alcohol among young people in Grey -Bruce," said Mr. Lipsett. "I know that such a program has long been a top priority for many local health professionals and social service agencies." Program staff will also offer their ser- vices., to community groups to increase local awareness and understanding of substance abuse among young. people. Recent surveys conducted by the Addic- tion Research Foundation indicate that substance abuse among the young in Grey- Bruce is a significant problem. The new program is expected to serve between 100 to 125 young people a year. The Grey -Bruce District Health Council recommended the program.
