Dr. Robin Higgins, M.A., M.B., B.Chir., D.P.M., Medical Director of the Richmond
Child Guidance Clinic reports as follows:—
"The Child Guidance Clinic contributed a stand to the Mental Health
Exhibition in June, 1968. Some of the children's art work, showing the use of
painting in therapy was displayed in addition to a visual aid demonstrating the
sources of referral and the methods used in the Clinic. (See page 42 — Health
Education).
"Our interest in adolescent problems led to an experimental project in cooperation
with the Youth Department. Further plans are in hand along these lines.
"During this year the Clinic has become associated with Chiswick Polytechnic
in the training of social work students. One student has so far been placed in the
Clinic, for a period of 4 months of practical work, and it is intended that this link
should continue."
