This paper describes a shift in the focus of mental health services to remote Indian villages in Northwestern Ontario. Traditional indigenous counsellors are assuming control of this service, previously offered by non-Indian outsiders. The resources of the Federal Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital and psychiatrists from the University of Toronto are used in the ongoing training of the counsellors. Challenges encountered by outside non-Indian professionals providing relevant training and consultation to the area's natural helpers are described. This unique program has enjoyed enthusiastic acceptance by local people in helping positions.

A major goal of the demonstration project described was to test a model of self-help and voluntary support in developing groups for female single parents. Community meetings, study programs, and related experiential strategies were used to promote coping skills and strategies; access to resources; decision-making learning and responsibility; social contacts and networking; work skills and employment opportunities. The effectiveness of the model, which emphasized self-help, consumer power, and accessibility, was reflected in increased membership, self-awareness and confidence, leadership, employment and development of community resources. Initial individual contact, informal contracting, and community support were seen as important factors in the project's success.

As a large percentage of the elderly population will spend some time in long-term facilities such as nursing homes, it is important to ensure the best possible conditions for residents and staff of these facilities. The authors describe the application of the eight components of the "normalization principle" to the institutionalized elderly as a valuable, systematic approach to maintaining the quality of life in long-term facilities. They suggest methods of promoting normal daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms, normal life-cycle experiences, and normal social, sexual, economic and environmental conditions within the framework of the long-term facility.

This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of an assessment procedure for use in a psychiatric day therapy setting. The assessment procedure, which incorporates a behavioural problem-oriented approach, serves as a basis for individual program planning with day patients, and provides data for program evaluation purposes. Evaluation of the assessment procedure indicated satisfaction among staff and clients with the process and results of collecting assessment information. Overall, it was concluded that the original objectives guiding development of the assessment procedure had been achieved. The purpose of this paper is to describe an assessment procedure developed for use in a day therapy program associated with a 30-bed psychiatric unit in a general hospital. The procedure, which provides a basis for individual program planning as well as program evaluation, was devised in response to staff concerns about the functioning of the day program. Since the assessment procedure was designed, in part, to meet the requirements of staff working in a generic day therapy psychiatric program, it was thought that it might be of interest to others working in similar settings.
