Volunteers work at Otis R. Bowen Center

In 1957 a group of volunteers calling themselves The Mental Health Association began holding meetings to make the citizens of the area more aware of the great importance of good mental health. Their motivation to bring mental health facilities to the communities culminated over 20 years later in the opening of The Otis R. Bowen Center for Human Services, Inc. By presidential proclamation the week of April 22-28 has been designated as National Volunteer Recognition Week. Activities carried out by volunteers are coordinated by Adj Kitt, coordinator of volunteer services According to Kitt, “all programs carried out by the volunteers are decided upon by the Bowen Center Advisory Board.” The advisory board is composed of five volunteers, one from each county in the Bowen Center catchment area. Each person on the board is also a member of their respective county Mental Health Associations. Kitt stated. “The cooperation we receive from each county Mental Health Association is just fantastic. They work with us constantly to help provide the people who need S|ur services the opportunity to come in, whether it’s transportation or babysitters.” Members of the Bowen Center Advisory Board are: Bob Johnson, Huntington. a representative of Huntington County; Mrs. John Mulholland, Columbia City, -a representative of Whitley County; Jacqueline A. Bergen, Warsaw, a representative of Kosciusko County; Jo Ellen Weaver, Wabash, representative of Wabash County; and Mrs. Don Beck, Plymouth, representative of Marshall County. Support has been overwhelming since the center began six months ago. Presently there are 65 active volunteer drivers who have driven over 35,700 miles. Providing any person a chance to get needed help and also showing shut ins and others without transportation that someone does care and care enough to ’go out of the way’ to help. Some of the many volunteer activities presently underway include the Center Newsletter, Center Tours, Babysitting Service, Social Activities for clients. Library Services. Share-a-Talent, typing, copying, filing and collating. Each county Mental Health Association takes two months a year to provide games and other social activities to persons in inpatient and partial hospitalization. The purpose of providing social activities is to get the clients to interact and learn how to get along with other people, a far cry from the treatment of the 1800 s. According to Kitt, “Volunteers work whenever they want to or can. Some work two hours a week, others work two hours a day. There is always something to do. Even with the many volunteers we have, we mainly are just keeping up on normal day-to-day activities.” Another ongoing volunteer project which is presently undermanned is the share-a-talent program; persons to teach partial hospitalization and inpatient clients handicrafts. Some of the best therapy a person can have it commonly refered to as art therapy. Keeping the hands busy for relaxation and while they are busy using their hands and accomplishing something, they forget their troubles and work off frustrations. Beginning May 1, a barber shop and beauty shop will be open for center clients, including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization and after care. Bobbie Cleveland is in charge of the service which will be free to Bowen Center clients. Volunteer barbers and beauticians are needed to help run the program Self improvement workshops will begin in May, under the direction of Jackie Bergen. Volunteers will act as group leaders in discussing the need for good personal hygiene, appearance, diet, home management, etc. Volunteers are needed to spend two hours a week for four weeks to help clients feel they have worth and are appreciated as persons. In July a one-to-one program will start under the direction of Marilyn Becktel. Under the one-to-one program a volunteer will work with one specific client from three to nine months, for job finding, application writing and everyday living skills. The Volunteer Advisory Board wishes to begin a volunteer newsletter. Kitt concludes. “We’re really enthused about our volunteers and they sure are doing a great job.
