What Bureau County United Way dollars go for … Youth Services Bureau A success story: Josh came to Youth Service Bureau (YSB) as a sad 12 year old. His sadness was easily understood. At the age of 10, Josh was a fifth-grader who felt like everyone else. By age 12, his world changed completely. His father was incarcerated for a drug offense. His mom, who had never worked before, seemed now to be at work all the time. They moved from a house in his hometown to an apartment in a nearby town, and he lost his friends. Though he had done well in grade school, he hated junior high. In reaction to his situation, Josh did something many kids do. He skipped school. He spent most of his time alone. His life was empty. He was unsupervised, adrift and in trouble. When Josh’s problem became evident at school, the guidance counselor made a referral to YSB. Within days, a YSB counselor visited Josh and his mother at home and consulted with the school. With Josh and his mother’s help, she soon formed a plan for Josh to become the kind of kid he wanted to be. The counselor didn’t start with truancy. She focused on what Josh wanted and needed to achieve his goals. As much as Josh wanted to avoid school, he was honest in saying he wanted to be successful there. The counselor involved Josh’s mom in her visits. Their family had problems, but

she focused on their strengths. Josh needed to know what he could count on from his mom and what he couldn’t. Josh’s mom realized she could help by being more consistent as a parent, setting clear expectations and providing consequences when Josh didn’t comply. Many weeks were rocky, but soon the good weeks outpaced the difficult ones. There was marked improvement in Josh’s school attendance and his grades. He began to feel and appear to others more like the regular kid everyone remembered. The help our agency provides is not always exceptional. It is genuine caring coupled with a structured and professional approach. YSB’s mission is to help children and their families succeed, and we carry out that mission in a variety of ways. Josh and his mom are just one example of the many children and families we help by restoring hope. Call the Bureau County United Way at 815-8720821 for information on how you can lend a helping hand to those in need in Bureau County. Goal Pledged $120,000.00 $41,025.10

Travel tips to reduce stress this holiday season (BPT) — Traveling over the holidays to visit family can be a bit stressful. As you travel during this time of year, consider the following tips to help you reduce your stress and better enjoy the time spent with family while away from home. • Pack flexibly — Family schedules can change quickly when large groups come together. You may discover yourself needing to dress for an evening out to attend your granddaughter’s school concert, or in need of warm and comfy walking shoes for an evening of Christmas caroling. These plans may not be finalized until you arrive, so pack your suitcase with multi-purpose clothing. For example, a pair of black slacks can easily be dressed up, or dressed down, depending on the look you need. Also throw in a pair of comfortable walking shoes and a pair of dressier shoes to create different looks. • Stay smart — Whether you’re on the road, or there just isn’t space at your family member’s home, or you simply want a comfortable bed with quiet surroundings for a good night of sleep, many times you’ll need to find hotel accommodations during the holidays. • Take time for yourself — While it’s great to reunite with family over the holidays, coordinating with a big group can be overwhelming at times. When you

stay at a hotel, you can find ways to take time for yourself, or with another member of the family. Consider inviting your daughter out for a lunch away from the crowd. Or settle into a comfy chair to watch a college football game. Or you can work off some of those holiday calories in the fully equipped fitness center. Just be sure to take time away from the crowd so you can recharge and enjoy spending the holiday with family. • Find the hidden treasures in the community — Every neighborhood and community has hidden treasures that would be fun to explore with your family. Maybe

it’s driving around the town looking at the holiday lights and decorations. Or someone recommends a local cafe that serves the best hot chocolate and pie. Or a bookstore with ornate architecture and hard-to-find used books. Make the effort to really visit the community where your loved ones live, and learn more about those fun and unique places that you’ll want to visit again during future holiday gatherings. With these travel tips, you can enjoy your holidays with family away from home. So sit back, grab another holiday treat and enjoy the stories being shared by your loved ones.
