The Interfaith Pastoral Counâ€" selling Centre at 74 Frederick St. in ~Kitchener is striving to meet that need with an everâ€"expailding range of courses and workshops, in addiâ€" tion to individual, family and group counselling. *‘People are becoming aware of the need to improve their coping skills," said Gloria Taylor, a counâ€" sellor at the centre. "There is a steady increase in the demand for service." The centre was established in Kitchener in 1969 by members of "Trinity United Church and various other churches in the area to meet what was felt to be a growing need in the â€"community. Since then, its services have been expanded to Cambridge and Eimira. Funding for the centre is providâ€" ed through client fees or donations from Federated Appeal, church Chronicle Staft Stress of daily living is taking its toll on individuals and families, prompting many people to seek counselling to put some order back into their lives. Last year council gave final approval to a plan for the subdiviâ€" sion, which is located on a 32â€"acre parcel of land in the northeast section of the city. But, when projects for the inâ€" stallation of services to the area came before council for final Chronicle Staff Waterloo should hold off work on the Dearborn Industrial Park until city council investigates total cost of the development, says Aid. Richard Biggs. . o "I am not opposed to it," Biggs said, "I just want to know more about it. Before we start putting these through we should find out just what the total cost will be." Last month, he said, council spent $500,000 to ng_cluse land on approval Monday night, Biggs asked that the matter be delayed until a total cost estimate distressed regain order Ald. Biggs wants cost estimate of industrial park Gloria T aylor Road adjacent to the park and, ‘"it seems we are starting to look at a very sizeable cost to do this thing. I don‘tâ€"recall any upâ€"toâ€"date report on what this willâ€"cost. *‘*Perhaps the city should defer the project one year," Biggs said. Despite the objection of Biggs, council approved spending $565,000 to install services at the industrial City engineer Jim Willis said that $350,000 will be spent to install sanitary and storm services, waâ€" termains and culverts along Coâ€" lumbia Street East from Marsiand Drive to the development. City share of this work will be $230,000 with the Ministry of Transportaâ€" tion and Communications contriâ€" buting $120,000. haullln&:ervicec to the first phase of the industrial park will cost the city an additional *‘People are attempting to imâ€" prove their ability to communicate and deal with others, increase their competence in their present situaâ€" tien and in their interpersonal relationships," she added. In addition to counselling, staff at the centre run three or more workshops per year and a series of short courses open to the general public on such topics as the Art of Therapy, Marriage Counselling, Family Dynamics and Religion and Psychotherapy. An annual lecture series on separation and divorce is also conducted by counsellors at the Kitchener Public Library and training in marriage preparation, marriage enrichment and parent effectiveness is also provided. A total of 4,050 individuals utiâ€" lized the services of the counselling centre last year, but according to Taylor, the figure will be much higher for 1982. Taylor feels that the greater demand for its services may be a result of the centre‘s growth in visibility in the community but it is also due, she says, to increased stress, coupled with a decrease in the stigma associated with asking for help. The cost for counselling at the centre is calculated on a sliding fee schedule ranging from a minimum of $5 to $40 per hour but Taylor emphasized that ‘"no one is turned away because they cannot afford to pay." . Many of its clients are referred to the centre by a family doctor, teacher, pastor or guidance counâ€" sellor who see indications of disâ€" tress in the family and recognize the need for counselling. But, by far, the biggest referral service is *"‘"*word of mouth"" by people who have been helped and recommend the centre to others, explained Tayâ€" lor. groups and private individuals. Counselling is provided to any individual, family or group in the community by the centre‘s five counsellors, all members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. But the centre is also a teaching facility where students of social work ‘"learn how to become marâ€" riage and family therapists‘" in its twoâ€"year internship program, said Taylor.
