the tribune thursday apr 10 w7s pat bourke left and judy coullon are two of the counsellors from the markham and district family life centres who conduct regular counselling sessions in stouffville mrs bourke told the tribune that she assists in the search for alternatives stouffville in a day and age when the family unit has weakened many believe that the markham family life centre provides a vital service in the community others arent so sure a group of ministers were among those who urged york region to support the centres the region since then has designated 75000 for family life centres at least one stouff ville pastor however holds some reservations about the family life centre program ac cording to very sincere ideas these counsellors are attempting to deal with very real human problems says rev david barker of the memorial christian church but my own experience is that theyre working from wrong assumptions that a man and a woman are in dividuals living together when theyre married strengths insights brought out stouffville the markham family life centre isnt out to change peoples ideas but to broaden them at least that is the approach taken by counsellor pat bourke who comes to stouffville each tuesday afternoon to give counselling sessions she is joined each week by judy coullon also of the markham centre mrs bourke sees her job as assisting in the search for alter natives looking for new ways to handle old problems she tries not to give directions but rather to ask questions of her counsellees i really do respect the people i counsel she says when they come in they already have many strengths and insights when asked how she functions differently from priests or ministers mrs bourke said that our training differs not as many people today would approach ministers or priests however she added she has cocounselled with ministers and would do so again if it came to a serious religious problem the people of stouffville that she has counselled are just as individual as anybody else they dont have any stereotype most of them have been around stouffville longer than ive been around markham she said mrs bourke has counselled at the family life centre for four years one thing mrs bourke wished to em phasize was that a person doesnt have to be sick or crazy to benefit from counselling in the same way a person would go to a doctor or dentist before a problem became serious she said wpprg i i iiiid stouffville scene whats going an a i oldfashioned way grade 6 students will have a chance to ex perience going to school the way
