Re: Port Coquitlam Monthly Report for June 1981

167 hours worked this month.
43 files: 16 in Port Coquitlam 27 in Coquitlam

Once again the majority of my time has been spent working with
families and youthy. There is a slight change this month in
that, as the month has progressed, there have been fewer
Situations with juveniles and more with families,¢specially where
there are two adults guarcelling. When I am on the road with
Police merers on Pridey a0 cuturday evenings, I observe and
meet with numerous youth in a variety of situations. This allows
me the opportunity to keep up with their street activities. Also,
they become more aware of my availability.

The following are examples of situations I dealt with this month:

“(1) A police member referred a situation to me involving a
neighbourhood dispute between two families who had lived beside
each other for several years. One's privacy was being interrupted.
The other was supersensitive and as a result, quick to complain
about almost anything. For me this involved long conversations
with the police member and with each of the two families involved.
The families needed to talk out their frustrations and this
relieved much of the problem. However, I feel this Situation will
be ongoing unless the families are prepared to give a little and be
less sensitive about each other's activities.

(2) I spent several hours speaking with a man and two of his
daughters about their concern for the wife/mother who has a serious
drinking problem. They wanted to begin to understand the disease
of alcoholism and then concern themselves with the steps necessary
to intervene and have her seek treatment in one of the facilities
in B.C. We discussed the process at length. They are beginning
to work on this and I will sce more of them in the future.
