A MULTI-PURPOSE CENTER WAS ORGANIZED TO PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SOCIOPSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES TO A COMMUNITY.

THE STAFF FOR THE PROJECT WAS SELECTED FROM THE RANKS OF PROFESSIONALLY EDUCATED WOMEN WHO WERE NOT WORKING, RETIRED PROFESSIONALS, COLLEGE STUDENTS, VISTA, CAP, NEIGHBORHOOD YOUTH CORPS, AND VOLUNTEERS. THE STAFF WORKED ON FAMILY PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES, AND INITIATED GROUP ACTION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. OVER A PERIOD OF TWENTY-FOUR MONTHS, THE SERVICE CENTER PROVIDED A FAMILY AGENT PLAN, CRISIS INTERVENTION PLAN, REMEDIAL AND AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL AIDS, COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY, EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, LEGAL AID PROJECTS, LEADERSHIP TRAINING, CONSUMER SCIENCE AND HOME ECONOMICS PROGRAMS, YOUTH CLUBS AND SUMMER ACTIVITIES, AND HELP FOR A GROUP OF PREGNANT TEENAGERS.
