By Yvonne Anderson Staff Writer The East Winston Branch Library, in conjunction with the Mental Health Associa tion of Forsyth County, will sponsor three enrichment programs designed to bring mental health Issues to the attention of the East Wins ton Community. Tommie Bradford, the co- cordinator for the pro grams, said that the Mental Health Association wil look ing for ways to expand its “Introspect” series while, at the same time, the East Winston Library was look ing for ways to increase its circulation and patronage. Introspect is a program mental health education program that has been held at the Highland Presbyteri an Church for the past seven years. “We realized that a vast section of the community was not being reached with Introspect,” Ms. Bradford said. “The East Winston community was one such neighborhood that we tar geted to increase the a- wareness of mental health needs and solutions to men tal health problems.” The idea was started by Dottie Butler, former head librarian who thought that many people carried a negative stigma of psychia try. “Mrs. Butler came up with the idea and we thought it was a good one,” said Jane Steele, the cur rent head librarian. “Many people won’t go to the clinic for help because they think it’s negative, but if they can come to a place in their community and see that other people are having the same problems and feel ings as them, then they will be more relaxed about it.” The series was scheduled to begin in January, but due to the snow, the first program was cancelled. The series will debut on Feb. 18 with a discussion about “Mid-Life Changes” with Anne. M. Compere, the director of the Mental Health Association. “Coping with mid-life is something that all people need to learn how to do,” said Ms. Compere. “It’s a time in life when the order of things changes, and those changes aren’t ex pected. They can be both physical and emotional. People need to know how to respond to those things that they’re not expecting.” Ms. Compere said that some common things that happen during mid-life are children leaving home or ceasing to be dependent upon their parents. She said that men sometime experience disatisfaction in their jobs because they haen’t achieved what they thought they would by a certain time in their lives. “There are ways to main tain a mental health bal ance and look at change without being negative,” said Ms. Compere. “The key is learning how to do it before it happens, so a person can figure out how to keep from wasting emo tional energy on things they cannot change.” The series will be on a pilot basis and will be evaluated for its effective ness at the completion of the third program. That Tommie Bradford of the Mental Health Association and Jane Steele, East Winston Librarian. evaluation will determine whether the programs will be continued. ‘“We want to utilize as many resource people in the community as possible to gain both community awareness and community input,” said Ms. Bradford. Our goal is to inform people where they can get further information and further help.” The next program, to be held on March 18, will be on “Teenage Stress and How Parents Can Help.” On April 15 the topic will be “It’s OK To Feel Good About Yourself,” featuring Janice E. Siler a counselor from the School of Pastoral Care at the N. C. Baptist Hospital. Community Dialogue Seminar Set By Yvonne Anderson Staff Writer The Winston-Salem Bar Association, the local organization of black lawyers is offering a Speakers Bureau for com munity groups. According to Gary Henderson, director of Youth Career Development for the Urban League and a member of the association, the program is an effort to give advice on legal matters re&vanf *oi tiiS tf^ective organizations. “The Winston-Salem Bar Association has been dor mant for a while, but we in tend to change all that with this Speakers Bureau and some other projects that are now in the planning stage,” said Henderson. Henderson said that any civic, church or community organization can request one of the bureau members to address their member ship. The club can also re quest the topic on which the speaker should talk and the bureau will send a member who has had professional expertise in that area. “There are 43 black lawyers in Winston-Salem, most of who are involved in both corporate and private practice,” Henderson said. “The response among club members was good and we thought this was a good way to help the community,” The association had its ' first formal meeting in March 1981, but held many' informal meetings prior to that date. The Speakers Bjjreau began in October of ’81, addressing various groups within the schpol system. The topics of these appearances were juvenile justice and juvenile ad vocacy. Beverly Mitchell, an at torney in private practice, said that the program would accomplish two goals. “This provides an oppor tunity for community groups to get first-hand and competent advice on any legal situation. It is also an opportunity for black at torneys to be exposed to the community,” she said. The Winston-Salem Bar Association invites all organizations to request its services. Interested persons should contact either Gary Henderson at the Winston- Salem Urban League or fice in the First Union Beverly Mitchell at her of- Building.
