TRANSYLVANIA'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM By - Dr. Joanna Byers Consulting Psychologist Mental Health In The Community Last week we presented how a family in another community was helped through a series of difficult times. As we think about ways people can help we need also to consider those who are being helped. The family itself had a big part in what happened. They were all working together as well as each one doing his or her job. They had learned to share with each other, so when peo ple outside the family wanted to help them they were able and willing to accept from others. A part of our technological culture has been the development of independence of ac tion. If everyone has “wheels” there is lit tle need to depend on anyone for transporta tion. If mother is going her way and father his way they come to the place where each feels little dependence on the other. A family who has “everything” may be so scattered that one knows little about what the others are doing. These developments have brought about a sense of independence which leaves out the usual give-and-take of living. A tech nological culture is much more dependent than a culture where each breaks his back in toil. Where would you be if the power went off? What would happen if the transportation fa cilities stopped the influx of food into town? How would traffic flow if our traffic signaling system broke down? The list of areas in which we are dependent on others could go on and on. Although we are very dependent on services and things we have gained a false sense of independence because we have more INDEPENDENCE OF ACTION. And it is independence of action that makes us grow away from depending on each other. When this happens we feel that we can “get along bv ourselves”. This false attitude makes us UNWILLING to accept help from other people. Soon others stop trying to help. There may still be token dependence. We may still expect that mother will keep house and * care for the children and we can accept this help. But we may not accept that mother has any right to choose how the money is spent. Now to get back to our family in trouble. Because they were able to share with each other and to depend upon each other they had pride in themselves. _ And it was this pride in themselves that allowed them to ac cept help from each other. It allowed them to accept that the people in the community cared. This let them graciously receive help. Take a look at you and your family. Are you truly needed by your family and do you share within the family? Troubles, joys, dreams and disappointments are a part of every fam ily’s lot. Can you give each other emotional support to ease the troubles; to enchance the joys; to make the dreams come true; or to en courage when disappointment comes. If you do this in your family then you, too, could gracious ly accept help from others. If you haven’t been thinking about this part of life, give some thought to it and then do whatever it takes to make you a dependent/independent person. This is the kind of person who can help others when they are in need and who can accept help when he is in need. Any comments or suggestions are wel come.
