Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, November 2, 1983, page 3 Profile This Week Meet Frank Leppanen - "He helps you to help yourself" by PAULINE ZIEGLER Frank Leppanen, his wife Judy and his father, came to Terrace Bay over a year ago after spending two years in Thunder Bay, where he worked as a social work- er. The Leppanens enjoy the outdoors, particular- ly cross-country skiing and fishing, and find that Terrace Bay has an abundance of terrific outdoor activities avail- - able. An assortment of family pets, two of which were acquired strays, would also indi- cate a natural love for animals. In addition to this, Frank possesses a weal- th of resources and an understanding in help- ing people. Frank is an independent contractor providing Kimberly- Clark with a valuable employee benefit called "The Employee Assist- ance Programme" which has been in effect since his arrival, and has proven to be a success- ful venture for all those concerned. The programme, Tottenham invites | which is open 'to all Kimberly-Clark employ- ees and their families, is fully backed by the trade unions and the com- pany. Both agree that social and _ behavioural health problems are treatable conditions and the programme res- ponds to them while they are still manage- able. As the Kimberly- Clark 'Employee As- sistance Councillor', Frank might make a referral to a_ specific treatment centre or or- ganization; and suggest a preventative program- me or follow-up sessions to ensure continual pro- gress. Some treatable conditions effectively handled in the office in- clude, family, marital and financial prob- Jems, emotional diffi- culties and job stress. Seven to ten percent of employees in any typical industry, en- counter one or more of these problems; with drug and alcohol abuse being the most frequent occuring problems han- dled by any Employee you to celebrate Did you live in the Tottenham area?
