It all happened this week. Now referred to as the family resource center of the Northern Utah Mental Health department, the local program is newly quartered at 729 South Second West. This is a county-owne- d house which formerly served as a juvenile shelter. John Craig Christensen, mental health specialist who heads the local office, is delighted with the move. Hes been pleading with Box Elder county officials for some time for a different location. The center until this week was upstairs in the county courthouse. "The new quarters will work very well, allowing patients to be more at ease and enable us to institute or expand a few programs, Christensen said. They will provide a more informal and clinical setting rather than contrived court, forced setting. No longer will we be between the court and jail, he added. Has Playroom The former home-shelte- r has a child ren s playroom and recreational area for older youths which the specialist said will help provide better adolescent and childrens services. The move was started on Tuesday. Christensen said they would be back in full operation by today (Thursday). Dr Tom Fox who heads the Northern Utah Mental Health clinic in Logan. They provide services in a number of areas, from marriage and family counseling to individual psycho therapy. Patients run a wide range too, from children to older adults.

Operational funds come from local, county and slate sources. , 0 Christensen said the centers new address is a temporary one. A comprehensive mental health grant has been okayed by Uncle Sam with funds expected to be received near the first of the year. The approximately $190,000 amount will be coupled with state money plus some local funds to total about $414,000 for the Bear River district. When these funds are put to work, it means probably that larger office space will be leased in Brigham City and perhaps a small office at Tremonton as well. A larger staff and more comprehensive program, including more extensive outpatient services, a rape prevention center and alcohol and drug treatment, are en- visioned, Christensen said. As for right now, however, at its new home, the family resources center can use some furniture, curtains and drapes, toys, and art work. If you have some to give please call 723-635- Oh yes, Christensen said the center can use volunteer services, as well. If youre interested, call the same number. |
