Unmet Youth Health Needs Target Of Nurse Association "The increase in epidemic proportions of youth health related problems demands our immediate attention," says Barbara Nichols, president of the 200,000 member American Nurses' association. "As a nation we rank fifteenth in infant mortality." "Incest and the sexual abuse of children are on the increase. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among adolescents. The drug problem has not gone away; we just hear about it less. In fact, cocaine use is on the increase. Between 60,000 and 80,000 young girls become sterile as a result of gonorrhea every year. These facts will not go away unless we, as concerned citizens and health professionals, make changes in order to give our children the health care they need." The American Nurses' association, in a series of hearings across the country, will investigate these and other unmet health needs of youth. At the hearings the ANA Com­ mission on Youth Health Problems will receive testimony, prepare a report, and make recommendations to policy makers in the United States and to the United Nations, which is celebrating the International Year of the Child. The American Nurses' association is the national professional organization of registered nurses in the United States, with constituents in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Central Baptist Family Services announces that the need for foster homes within Lake and McHenry counties is critical. Homes are needed for children of these two counties who are unable to reside with their own families for tem­ porary or extended time periods. Central Baptist Family Services is a non-sectarian child welfare agency that provides most of the foster care services for the adjoining counties. Children in need of homes have been adjudicated as dependent, neglected, abused, or minors in need of super­ vision. On a smaller scale the agency seeks homes for some retarded children who need the sense of belonging to a family for healthy development. The children requiring home placement vary in ages from infancy through teen years. Jackie Mansholt, resource coordinator, reports that it is most difficult to find homes for teens, for siblings and for developmentally disabled youngsters. Among this varied group of children, Jackie finds the one commonality as a longing to know that someone cares about them personally. "Some children have given up that hope. Others have buried it deep within and cover it with bitterness, anger, and fear." Foster parenting differs from adoption as Jimmie Smith, program supervisor, explains. "Children need substitute parents until the child can be reunited with his own family, or, if necessary, until another permanent plan can be secured in the best interests of the child. Foster parents help a child work through the difficult trauma of separation from his- her own parents, and by the acceptance and concern received from the foster family the child slowly gains a sense of trust in others and grows in self-confidence," Smith em­ phasized. Smith states that married or single adults who are at least 21-years-old and who have extra space in their home and are willing to share their home, love and family with a child may qualify to be foster parents. Qualities compatible with foster care service include the ability to empathize and be patient and fexible with children as well as a willingness to learn and work in a team effort with the agency. Foster parents can expect the agency to provide training, ongoing support from professionally trained casework staff, and a monthly stipend to help defray support costs. The application process includes interviews and pre- service training that enables interested persons to carefully weigh their decision to be foster parents.
