of
communication
between
parents and teenagers has been
introduced at Lincoln and Madi
son High Schools.
Labeled "P ro je c t Intercom "
the area-wide program attempts
to reach both parents and students
by offering help with problems
too sensitive to be discussed at
home.
It is not lim ited to students and
parents at the two designated
schools.
T h r e e of
five
sponsoring
social agencies provide staff for
the
weekly group discussions
which w ill be s e p a r a t e for
parents and students.
Students nights are conducted
by social workers from the Out
side-In C lin ic and persons attun
ed to youth problems; parents
nights, by social workers from
the Fam ily Counseling Service
and Jewish F am ily and Child Ser
vice.
Other sponsors are Lutheran
F am ily Service
and Catholic
F am ily Services as well as the
Portland Public School Board ,
which is providing the fa cilitie s.
F or fle x ib ility , student nights
are Wednesdays at Lincoln High
School and Thursday at Madison

sity.
The focus of the Intercom cen
ters is not to provide a " tre a t -
ment’.’
The emphasis, rather, is on
education and,
if necessary,
re fe rra l fo r treatment to exist -
ing community resources.
" I t is the project’ s hope," says
M r. C urtis, “ that...the students
w ill become aware of alternative
ways of handling stressful o r un
pleasant situations that may seem
overwhelming with their current
knowledge."
The project is be ing directed by
an executive board which w ill de
term ine future planning, subject
to the approval of the, Portland
Public School adm inistration.
Board members are Paul G.
Cook, Fam ily Counseling Service
board member; M r.C u rtis ,D r.
M ilton Field, d ire cto r of special
services fo r the public schools ;
M rs . M artin M ueller, Lutheran
