Always on site while the chil dren's groups meet, they have an opportunity to talk to other par ents in a supportive, private environment. Research conducted over the past three decades reinforces the need for organizations like the Lighthouse Program. It shows high incidences o f unresolved grief in adult psychiatric patients may contribute to major depression, addictions, relation ship problems, child abuse, sui cide and sociopathic disorders. In children, unhealthy, self destructive forms o f expressing grief can evolve into depression, anti-social behavior, physical com plications and deviant behavior that may lead to brush es with the law. Canada's first Seasons Centre opened its doors seven years ago in Barrie. Founder and pro gram director, Catharine Parker, a grief and trauma counselor, learned about the first United Statres centre for grieving chil dren called the Dougy Centre in Portland, Oregon, during a 1990 conference. She fought hard to establish Seasons Centre with great success. She later discov ered a great many families from Oakville and surrounding area were travelling to Barrie for ses sions and decided to open a sec ond facility. The Lighthouse Program is currently welcoming both male and female volunteers who have personal experience with grief and/or trauma who want to share with kids or help with fundraising. Call 844-7310 for more information about volunteering or making a donation.

This program begins Tuesday, Feb. 1st, at 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and runs for six weeks. This course addresses issues that typically con cern separating parents, such as the long-term impact o f divorce on the emotional development of the child, the effect the divorce could have on the child's self-esteem, the effect o f new relationships, the legal implications, and managing step-families. There will be discussions around how best to tackle the typical problems that separating parents face, such as: How much do you explain to a child, without lowering their regard for the other parent? How do you explain the disappearance from their lives o f the other parent? How do you deal with the other parent being unreliable in their visits and not keeping promises? How do you help the child deal with differ ent sets of rules in the two households? How do you deal with the other parent involving the child in the parents' issues, the putting-down o f the other parent, etc.? How to parent when you are the non-custodial parent? The course will be conducted by Blythe Ward, M.Ed, a family counsellor in Oakville, and will include lectures and group discussion. The groups will be divided according to the ages o f the participants' children. Both custodial and non-custodial parents are encouraged to attend. The fee is $65 for the six weeks. (Subsidies are available on a limited basis if required.) For further information or to register, call Lesley Henshaw at 693-4270.
