Seed Money Grant Awarded

Dr. Melody Hessing, contract instructor, Social
Sciences at Douglas College, and Lillian
Zimmerman, Community Programs and Services,
have been awarded a Seed Money Grant from the
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
in the amount of $5,000. The Grant was awarded
in the Family and Socialization of Children
category of the Strategic Grants Division of the
8.8.B.R.C,

The Research Proposal which Melody and Lillian
will work on is THE FAMILY AND WORKING
LIFE IN CANADA. As stated in the proposal:

"This research proposal is intended to generate
discussion on the intersection between work

and family life and to formulate a research
proposal in that area. We are particularly
concerned with the impact of work on family
life, the constraints and Contradictions inherent
in the lives of working mothers and the influence
of family needs on labour force participation.
Among those issues which need to be addressed
are the following: How and at what cost is the
"normalization of the double day" (Glazer 1980)
being accomplished. What models of the world
of work are being effected for Canadian children
How is the quality of family life in Canada
affected by working parents? What are the
implications for the development of Canadian
social policy and social support targeted at the
working family?"

The seed money grant is earmarked to allow the
researchers to design a research project, which
can then be submitted to the 8.8.H.R.C.

Douglas College will be the institutional base for
administration of these funds.

 

Helpli
eipling

"Helpline" will be a referral service for students
who are undergoing a crisis in their lives, and
are in need of help in one form or another. Our
Helpline Co-ordinator will be available to assist
students in finding the agency or service best
suited to provide the type of help appropriate to
their particular problem.

The idea for this project resulted from a meeting
between the staff of the Douglas College
Counselling department and the Executive of
the Student Society. Originally, the meeting had
been called to establish the parameters of the
Student Society Ombudsoffice. What resulted
was the identification of a very real need among
students; specifically, as students are often
unaware of the resources which are available to
them in times of crisis, and are more likely to
seek advice and assistance from their peers, we
recognized the need to provide a student run
referral service. Helpline was born of this
recognition.

For their part in bringing this project into being,
1 would like to acknowledge the support of the
Work Study Program Committee, whose favorable
evaluation of the project resulted in making the
funding available. 1 would also like to acknow-
ledge the contribution of the Counselling
Department, whose input, co-operation and
promise of future support will make Helpline a
SUCCESS.
