Youth services now offers prenatal classes * ' 4- By MaHc Baus / PUIadMlw H«raM Newt S*rvtce In an effort to create a com­ prehensive program for young mothers and mothers-to-be, the McHenry County Youth Ser­ vices Bureau has added a prenatal education class to its Horizons program. A young parents program is currently offered by YSB, along with 12 other programs ranging from a substance abuse program to an emotional crisis program. YSB already conducts support groups for young parents, but the new prenatal program is unique in that it is a preventative program, ac­ cording to Jane Buchholz, the prenatal home visitor coor­ dinator for YSB. v "The goal of the new program is to help young parents be successful parents, and go through a successful childbirth, " Buchholz said. The prenatal program is part of the statewide Parents Too Soon initiative and the Ounce of Prevention program. The prenatal .class, which begins Jan. 9, and meets for 11 Consecutive Wednesdays,„ is designed to reduce incidents of neglect of unborn babies, reduce the number of low birihweight babies and second pregnancies. "Girls who are having babies at age 13 or 14 aren't completely developed physically, and that can cause complications with the baby," Buchholz said. -'Our program has the best available services in the state," Buchholz said. "We offer a home visitor program where volun­ teers visit the young mothers at home, or even when they are still in the hospital, and help them adjust to their ifew situation. Some of these young mothers don't even know how to change a diaper and they might not have a supportive family to help them." The prenatal program will begin with two meetings at the Congregational Universalist Church, Woodstock, which donated the meeting space. Those programs will focus on decision-making skills and nutritional information.' The next two meetings will be conducted at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Wood­ stock, by Pam Ofsanik, a maternity nurse. Ofsanik will give a tour of the maternity ward and explain delivery procedures. % "The hospital part of the program is tailor-made for the young mothers. The hospital does offer another prenatal program, but young mothers often feel insecure in it because that one is attended by older couples, and they may be afraid to ask questions," Buchholz explained. The remainder of the meetings will focus on fetal development. They will include a childbirth movie and four childbirth technique classes similar to LaMaze classes. Buchholz said that the young mother's "support person" or "coach" is required to attend the hospital visit and the four technique classes. If a girl doesn't have a coach, Buchholz said that there are volunteers who would be willing to serve as a coach. "Part of the education program will be a discussion of how to pick a coach. Often times, if the father is not around, a neighbor or a person the girl used to babysit for are willing to help," Buchholz said. "Parents of young girls often don't make good coaches because it is difficult to see their child in that situation. Sometimes they are more of a basket case than the girl." , A steering committee of concerned citizens will meet in January to help form a long- term program, Buchholz said. Girls and women up to age 22, in their fifth month of pregnancy, are eligible for the course, although YSB will ac­ cept most girls who have decided to carry their baby to term. To^get more information about the Horizons programs or to sign up for the prenatal program, interested people \ should contact Jane Buchholz at YSB at 338-7360.

The McHenry Area Jaycees completed a three-part project for the community this Christmas. « r The first part was "Calls From Santa." Jaycee members called some 325 McHenry area children, and gave them a personal message from Santa. On Christmas Eve, part two of the program was completed, when Santa Claus and two of his elves (Jaycees) visited patients at Northern Illinois Medical Center and at Royal Terrace Nursing Home. The purpose of the visit was to bring a moment or two of cheer and good will to the patients and members of their families and friends who were visiting them. Santa passed out toys and games to the children in the pediatric ward, and candy canes and cookies were passed out to everyone else. The final part of the Jaycee Christmas program was the annual Christmas tree sale, where the proceeds will be used to fund future community development projects. This year's sale was the best to date. Anyone interested in learning more about the group is urged to call 385-1,063 or 344-0195 after 5 p.m. for more information.
