The main purpose of Jewish Family Life Education is to strengthen family life through various kinds of learning, sharing, and self-help. The framework for FLE stems from an adult education design. FLE aims to develop an atmosphere where adults are likely to feel comfortable in broadening their under standing. Jewish Family Life Educators believe that group discussion facilitated by pro fessionals can help to 1) in crease awareness 2) solve pro blems 3) prevent problems. The nature of JFLE is educational and not therapeutic. Nonetheless, in sights gained through JFLE have encouraged some in dividuals to continue work on personal issues when that seemed useful. Therefore, JFLE can serve a person in coming to an understanding of an issue and how to deal with it. To back this up, Charlotte’s Jewish Social Services will provide various counseling services and complete infor mation concerning referrals to human services of all kinds in our region. What have been examples of successful programs else where? A sampli^ of subjects popular in other communities are: SvarviviagAdolescent Ex perience: A Parents' Guide; Parenting Teenagers, Holding on and Letting Go; “Back in Circulation” — Re-entering the Social Scene Without a Partner; Stress Management and Relaxation Training; Com pulsive Eating and Ap proaches for Dealing With It; Teenage Sexuality; Better Behavior Management — Ideas That Work For Parents; Changing Patterns of Family Life in our Society Today; Forty-Plus — a beautiful Time in Life; After Divorce — The System Which Remains And What To Do With It. While these are a few ideas, many other possibilities exist for programs in Chs^rlotte's Jewish Family Life Education. We invite you to take part. / Jerome Levin presents Senator Rauch with plaque.
