"Today's young people are turning to drugs and alcohol at a rate which is alarming to parents and to the community. Those who deal with teen-agers in their daily activities - parents, teachers counselors, ministers, physicians, juvenile officers, etc. - often are at a loss to find appropriate courses of action -to help with the problems of drugs and alcohol," said Mally. "An almost universal recognition is made, however, of a basic difficulty which occurs with this problem- A lack of communication between the adolescent and his parents." The purpose of these encounter groups will be to open the doors of communication between. the teen-ager and his parents. From three to five families will meet with clinic staff in a series of four sessions to discuss ways and means to a better understanding of Con Game In Area Suspected Telephone calls received by McHenry women over the past several weeks indicate that they have been singled out as possible victims of con men. Asking for' information concerning their bank accounts, the caller then advised that discrepencies have been noted at a local banking institution, which he claims to represent. He adds that he wishes to check on suspected dishonesty. (Continued on page 10) their relationships. Both mother and father must accompany the teen-ager to these encounter group sessions. Referrals may be made by anyone who encounters a problem of an adolescent, male or female, involved witn drugs or alcohol. These referrals will be limited to students in high school. "We would be interested particularly in early detection rather than chronic users of drugs or alcohol, J said Mally. Drug use may include smoking marijuana, glue-sniffing, inhaling of gasoline fumes, hairsprays, etc. The parent should be the person to call to register for participation. Participants will enter the group directly upon acceptance into the program with no formal diagnostic evaluation being made at the time. Pees will be charged according to the family income and will be determined at the time of the first meeting. The clinic plans to provide backup services to the encounter group members. Thus, if additional help is required by the family after the completion of the series, it will be available by psychiatric evaluation and followup treatment programs or, in case of lesser difficulties, continued group sessions to foster parent-teenager communication will be offered. The first group will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, at the clinic. Michael Hurt, M.A., clinical psychologist on the staff of the clinic, will conduct the first series. Reservations for these meetings can be made by calling Mr. Hurt at the clinic at 385-6400. If more than five families are referred to the clinic, additional groups will be formed. All questions regarding this program should be directed to Mr. Hurt.
