To- day's individual has the constant challenge of coping with high levels of emotional duress. The C.I.V.P. (Com- munity Involvement and Volunteer Program) of Scugog and Uxbridge was developed, under the auspices of Community Care, in 1978 to provide assistance to alleviate stress for ex-psychiatric patients and people ex- periencing the strains of daily life who have never been institutionalized and wish to remain in their community and out of psychiatric hospital.

The volunteers' primary focus is on help- ing clients with specific tasks which could range from the maintenance of personal hygiene to get- ting involved in com- munity activities or social functions. The C.I.V.P. Co- ordinator, Nel Marshall, points out that the volunteer, while vital to the functioning of the C.1.V.P. is not a replace- ment for a professional counsellor.

Ms. Marshall stresses that volunteers must be patient individuals with a healthy attitude towards mental health so that they can be supportive to -clients. These persons may be referred to the program by doctors, family counsellors, public health nurses, vocational rehabilitation centres, welfare workers, family members or the in- dividuals themselves. The program is funded 100 per cent by the Ministry of - Health.
