carried her through many diffi.
cult experiences.

“I was really interested in
this field because so many were
afraid of it,” she said.

“Ignorance was our salva-
tion,” she said of her early days
of training and exposure to the
harsh institute atmosphere.
“We grew up there and learned
to handle things with common
sense and compassion.”

The accepted medical and
social approach to mental ill-
ness was quite different twenty
years ago than it is now, Mrs.
Tupper said,

Emphasis was given to
placing handicapped and bor-
derline cases in institutes ra-
ther than rehabilitating them
back into the community.

Turnover was low, and
many patients who did return
into the community were not
equipped to meet the stresses
and responsibilities that sent

them to the institute in the first
lace.

“There was not enough
medical staff to follow-up a
patient's progress and provide
family and community counsel-
ling,” Mrs, Tupper said,

Gradually, the transition

toward rehabilitation was made.

and many patients who until
then were crowding the insti-
tutes were encouraged to as-
sume greater responsibility for
themselves,

Various programs were set
up to assist patients with the

transition. For instance, . Mrs.

‘Tupper said, in the case where
the patient went to school the
teachers and family became

involved. in the patient's re-

habilitation.
She feels, however, there
is a lack of public education

with resulting fear, prejudice
and misunderstanding.

In some cases she said
neither family nor employers
will accent a patient and his

ail care unit’ at Crease
Clinic
where she spent the next few
years.

Her keen interest and
sympathy for the people ‘she
cared for helped. counter-bal-
ance the heavy demands and
pressures of the job. She had a
lot to meet within herself in

coping with the constant emo-

tional drain.

“L went through a lot of
emotional upheaval and disillu-
alonment with a lot of the
methods used in treating
patients,” she said.

The family moved to Vic-
toria in 1901, and for the next
three years Mra, Tupper stayed.

* home to “have babies” and care

for her growing family.
She then worked as a

, Nurse at the Victoria General

Hospital, a new experience for
her. "I got to know the clty well
quickly through the contact
with the hospital,” she said.
She also worked for a

‘number of years at the Eric

Martin Institute of Psychiatry,

problem: velocat-
ing the patient if feasible.

‘Beneath the exterior and
shabby clothes there is a lovely
person with fine seolings anda
capacity to respond,”
Tupper said, “If you look at
them as a | person they respond
that way.”

“People tend to react to a
mental patient's reactions. The
point is, we need to deal with
our feelings first, then we | have
something to offer them.”

From Essondale she went
to Woodlands School in New
Westminister,-a training and
residential school for retarded
and handicapped people from
young children to the old.

Sandy joined the Victoria

her youngest son Ian was
retarded.

““I feel really indebted to
them for all the help we
received for Ian,” she said. “It
was good experience and I feel
our family grew because of it.
Life can be beautiful if we let it
and if we are willing to learn
from our experiences.”
