Signs of the times Dallas Post/Ed Campbell The Parenting Council of North- eastern Pennsylvania phased out of service at the end of December, 1983, due to funding difficulties. The Council’s Resource Room, however, will be maintained by Maternal & Family Health Services at 936 Market St., Kingston. To continue to provide the com- munity with information on parent- ing, the Parenting Council has pur- chased materials to be placed in 66 libraries and four district libraries. Pamphlet on pregnancy, children, health, adolescence and parenting will be placed in libraries in Lacka- wanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Schuylk- ill, Pike, Wayne and Wyoming coun- ties. District libraries will also receive numerous books and comprehensive resource packets on abuse, adoles- cence, children, early adolescence, infants, infant apnea and sudden infant death syndrome, safety, sex education, stepfamilies and teenage pregnancy. The Parenting Council was origi- nally formed as a non-profit organi- zation to strengthen and support all aspects of family life. Through a sub-contracted grant through Maternal & Family Health Services, Inc. from the U.S. Office of Adoles- cent Pregnancy Programs, the Council developed a Resource Room on parenting and family life and Tel-Med tapes in Luzerne County on parenting, adolescence and chil- dren. The Council has sponsored work- shops for foster parents, group home youth and staff and sessions on communication, stepfamilies and safety. The stepfamily workshops led the participants to form the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the Stepfamily Association of America, Inc. The Council also developed a planning committee to form a support group for families with infants on apnea monitors. That group will begin meeting in March, 1984 and is spon- sored by the Wyoming Valley Chap- ter of the American Lung Associa- tion. Both groups may be contacted through FIRST or HELPLINE. / BACK MOUNTAIN Members of the Jaycees consider their club a todays workers_ JAYCEES : Leadership Training Organization and look favorably “t upon service to the community.
