Vocational Program at RSH's Adolescent Unit
Prepares Young Patients to be Good Employees
I'art two of >i two-part story.
It 's not the easiest thing in
the world to work w ith some of
these kids- but it's a rewarding
thing "
This is the way Wayne
Morrow sums up his job as
vocational education coordi-
nator lor the Husk State
Hospital Adolescent Unit.
Morrow, who has some
in years experience in the
construction field, has turned
down many oilers to leave his
(xisition working with young
stcrs at the hospital, according
to (¡ene Hholon. the psychoid
gist who heads the Adolescent
t inn

Morrow begin s talking about
Ins job thai he enjoys what lu-
is doing
Four days a week, five hours
.1 day. Morrow works directly
with young patients- cither in
the classroom, in his well
* quipped shop, or out on the
io|i passing on his knowledge
n! ¡lie construction trades
When he isn't teaching.
Morrow carries out his duties
as coordinator of vocational
education This includes his
own class in General Construc-
tion Trades, a class in General
Metal Trades and one in Home
and Community Services,
"We are shooting for Ihe
same thing with all of our
vocational programs,'' Mor
row says, "optimum social and
vocational adjustment
"These are not only students
we are working with, they are
patients and we recognize that
fact, he explains, "We try to
work with a kid and help him
solve his emotional problems, "
His carpentry classes, and
the metal trades classes taught
by Floyd K Cleveland Jr . are
based on Ihe observation that
"the youngsters will be lot
more interested il they're
working on something that's
going to be utilized,"' Morrow-
says.
Morrow's students are cur-
rently constructing a pavilion
at the hospital's lake project
while Cleveland's are working
on a set of tables and chairs to
be used for a sidewalk cafe by
the Day Treatment Center
The third class under
vocational education is a sort
of expanded home economics
class taught for the girls by
Mrs Rosie Holcomb.
The girls receive instruction
in cooking, sewing and laun-
dering, all with a "vocational
aspect," Morrow says The
goal, he explains, is to prepare
them to be able to hold a job as
a waitress, laundry worker,
seamstress cr Ihe like
In addition, the class covers
such things as dress and
grooming
Teaching a young patient
how to be a good employee is
one of the primary goals of his
entire program. Morrow points
out
"II they go on the job with
the right attitude, people will
almost always bend over
backward to help them learn
what they need to know,''

Unit between the ages of 14

ated from high school or

education (academic) classes
the rest ol the day-
Special education classes are
currently held on the ground
floor of the "Hosptial" Build-
ing where the Adolescent Unit
also has it's offices.
The youngsters are all
housed on separate wards
according to geographic unit -
that is, according to where
their homes are
All this will change, hope-
fully in September, when Ihe
Adolescent Unit moves into
two new facilities, Ithoton
reports
A new two-story ward
building will have facilities for
95 children.
It includes office space and a
dining room downstairs and a
recreation room upstairs.
The children will sleep eight
to a room with space for 48
downstairs and 48 upstairs,
Rhoton explains.
Each child will have his own
bed, desk, drawer and closet
space and will be given some
measure of privacy.
The new school building will
house six classrooms, a
library, office space and
lounges for both teachers and
• students
The new facilities, particu-
larly the new ward building
which places all the adolescent
patients in one area, will be a
big benefit to the overall
program of helping the chil-
dren. Rhoton says.
'It will provide more
consistency and better com-
munications between the
staff" than was possible when
the children were all located on
different wards, he explains
