The Gateway Club for E.S.N, school leavers continued to meet
throughout the year at the Youth Centre, Grant Road, Wealdstone.
The Harrow Association for Mental Health have extended their
activities by running a club on Thursday evenings for young people in the
community who are mentally ill or find it difficult to mix with others
socially. Young volunteers from the Borough help out at the Club and
entertainment is given through a varied programme of events. This is in
addition to the club run on Tuesday evenings catering for an older agegroup.
Both clubs are held at this Authority's Day Centre for the Younger
Mentally 111, 74A, Marlborough Hill, Wealdstone.
The Association proposes to start a Luncheon Club on Sundays at
this Day Centre early in 1971.
Students
During the year 9 students from various universities, colleges and
hospitals were received into the department for practical experience in the
mental health field and also arrangements were made for some 150 other
students—mainly nurses and health visitors—to see the various establishments.
Courses
One trainee social worker was seconded for a two year course at
High Wycombe College of Technology to study for the National Certificate
in Social Work.
