TamBjLA marene By ROBIN BARKSDALE Chronicle Staff Writer Many social researchers say the black family is on an irreversible downslide. Winston-Salem's Family Awareness Task Force begs to differ with the prediction. The task force's Third Annual Conference on Families will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Winston Lake Family YMCA, 901 Waterworks Road, and the conference coordinators plan to address issues that will help families cope with various family situations. Conference Chairman Johnet ta Huntley says the one-day session will focus on determining strengths as well as addressing other areas. "Our primary focus will be on the theme 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken?' " says Huntley, a counselor at Winston-Salem State University. "The circle is being tested and 'the family' has been broken into a lot of sub-structures, so the strengths of families are being tested." Huntley says the family is difficult to define because there are many different, non-traditional groups that are now referred to as families. Along with other conference coordinators, she hopes the conference will pose questions that will command answers from the community. "We have to ask, 'Is the black male an endangered species? Does he have strengths? Who's taking care of our elderly?' " savs Huntlev. w 1 'These are some of the issues we hope the conference will address/' says Huntley. "People need to be abreast of the changing society so they can be better equipped to handle new family situations." Huntley says conference attendance in the past has been "very good," and she expects an increase in attendance at this ye^f's conference. She credits the location of the conference at Winston Lake and support from community leaders with the conference's success in the past. She says, "The community has been very, very supportive with time, enthusiasm and funds. We've grown threefold financially since our first conference. Our fund-raising efforts have been tremendous."

This year's conference co-sponsors are Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Council on Negro Women, the Links, the Experiment in Self-Reliance, the Guard (Dennis Nelson, owner), Z. Smith Reynolds Foun dation and the Baptist Ministers and Associates. Huntley says the task force, founded in 1982, was started to "assess needs of families on a grass-roots level.'' "Not enough effort^ were being made to bring about an open forum concerning families, especially black families," explains Huntley. "We needed a vehicle to stress the strengths of the black family." The task force, says Huntley, now deals with family issues and is a way to learn coping skills. Participation in the task force is open, and Huntley emphasizes that the group wants people to come and take part in discussions. Commenting on some deterrents to maintaining strong family structures, Huntley says there is too much emphasis on "separate." "Independence is fine, but there is an undercurrent of being separate," says Huntley. "People don't eat meals together anymore, and everyone has his own car, so there is always the occasion of someone doing \t ft eleases nev i W ' JBjkL fl mm k y| j mv jh ^h Ricky Ricardo Little United Way agcncics and ha^, initiated recruitment programs at Winston-Salem State University and Wake Forest University ....

"No way will it completely collapse," she says. "It may distort itself and branch off into a number of directions, but the family itself will not collapse.'* P Qlonrlir V/M1VI1UCU Park Child Care Center and Beth The YWCA basketball league v tober.
