The center will provide job counseling and training, job placement services and legal, financial, educational, nutri tional and health counseling, Maxey said. Some of the workshops offered by the center may deal with divorce and the law, job finding, growing old, resume writing, skill assessment, health care, assertiveness training, widowhood, employment resources and lifelong planning, she said. . . Most of the people who will come to the center for help will be divorced or widowed women, said Mary Beth Johnson, director of the Omaha YWCA. "The major problem with most of these women is little confidence in their own ability or skills, Johnson said. "Many centers find this type of counseling is the primary service they offer." The center will depend on volunteers in the commun ity who are willing to donate their time, Maxey said. Johnson said the center will seek the help of organi zations already providing employment and counseling services to the center according to Kay Hood, director of women's support programs, there. UNO will offer individual and group counseling and non-credit courses dealing- with assertiveness training, single mothers, women and health, rape, spouse abuse, the Equal Rights Amendment, death and dying, personal growth and development, insurance and credit, Hood said. Fees may be charged for some of the courses, but no one will be turned away for lack of money, she said. The center will be able to use UNO rooms, and a staff employee will be hired by UNO, Hood said. .The Legis lature appropriated $93,860 "to finance the center for one year. The money will be used to hire a staff, buy supplies, equipment, pay for utilities and travel expenses and the remainder will be given to the women who need financial support, Maxey said. daily nebraskan ' Publication no. 144080 Editor in Chief: Rex Seline.
