Waterioo, is making use of posters and information provided to schools as part of Mental Health Week, May 5 to 11. The Canadian Mental Health Association is taking its message about of the importance of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining good mental health into the classroom. Pat Arbuckile photo Paul Stumpft, a teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes school in Pat Arbuckile Chronicle Staff Developing a healthy lifestyle as a youngster is important to wellâ€"being in adult years. That‘s one of the messages of the Canadian Mental Health Associaâ€" tion as it celebrates Mental Health Week, May 5 â€" 11. In its bid to promote the developâ€" ment of good selfâ€"image in children, the local chapter of the association has distributed poster/information kits to 143 schools in the Waterloo region. "Frequently, mental health is not included in the curriculum in the classroom,"‘ explained Marjorie Mank, executive director of the Waterloo region chapter. ‘"We felt this was a good opportunity to bring (the importance of mental health) to the attention of teachers. ‘"It‘s important for children anyâ€" where to have a good selfâ€"image and feel good about themselves. They will probably develop the skills needed in adult life to weather the storms,‘‘ she added. The goal of Mental Health Week, Mank said, it to increase public awareness of the importance of practising good mental health and the warning signs of mental illness. According to statistics provided by the Canadian Mental Health Association, mental illness strikes more Canadians than all other diseases combined. Some Waterloo firefighters could soon be earning more than their bosses, and there‘s nothing city hall can do about it. According to Ald. John Shortreed, chairman of the city‘s protective services committee, there are hard feelings amongst some city manâ€" agement because salary increases negotiated by the firefighters‘ union are consistently higher than other city staff receive. This year, for example, city hall approved a 4.99 per cent increase for the firefighters association, while all other city employees settled for 4.25 per cent. ‘"I want to explain why the city goes along with this â€" the city feels this is the best negotiation it can get under the circumstances," said Shortreed, explaining that the arbiâ€" tration process in disputes concernâ€" i firefighters is handled in a :Ifierent manner than for other Programs combat mental health woes Firefighter pay more than bosses? ‘"‘This will come home to roost. It In keeping with its aims to promote mental health and ensure that the best possible services are available to people who have emoâ€" tional or psychiatric problems, the local chapter of the association has developed a number of programs which are staffed each year by its 400 to 500 volunteers. They include the Help Telephone Distress Line, a listening and referâ€" ral service for people who are isolated, lonely or depressed; Friends, a program in which chilâ€" dren experiencing adjustment, emotional, behavioral or learning problems are helped to feel better about themselves and reach their potential through friendship with a volunteer; FREED, a support group for friends and families of people with eating disorder; Family and Friends, selfâ€"help and education for relatives and friends of those sufferâ€" ing from schizophrenia; Oneâ€"toâ€" One, which offers friendship to persons discharged from psychiaâ€" tric hospital or those with emotional or psychiatric problems. As part of its education programs, the local chapter also organizes workshops, film series on parenting, panel discussions and displays. Other plans for Mental Health Week include displays in local shopping malls, an interview proâ€" gram on Rogers Cable TV and the distribution of mental fitness book marks in all regional libraries. will come to a point where people in the firefighters union will be making more than management at the city," he said.
