Section One:
Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you must address. You must also determine the primary problems (this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to assist the family. In your project, do the following:
Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms. Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the “identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so, describe who and why.
Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that should be noted as you proceed with the client.
Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case.
Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family.
Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of these might contribute to the problem.
Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and
at least one
general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain how this may or may not impact the family dynamics.
Describe
one
intervention you might use for the identified client that would address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial factors.
Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to support the use of the interventions you have identified.
Briefly describe
one
preventative technique that you might use to reduce the likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current crisis.
Section Two:
Reflect on your journal entries throughout the course and consider what you may have learned about yourself as a future clinician working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of strength you have identified by completing this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of strength you identified as you worked on this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of knowledge you might want to further develop to become more effective as a clinician working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any insights you had or conclusions you drew as you worked on this course regarding your interest in becoming a clinician that works with children and adolescents.
Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Chase
Chase is a 12-year-old male who was brought in for services by his adoptive mother. He
is very small in stature, appearing to be only 8 years old. He also acts younger than his 12 years,
carrying around toy cars in his pockets, which he proudly displays and talks about in detail.

Handedness and the Diverse Gender-Related Personality Traits in Humans
According to recent meta-analysis, there has been an immoderate amount of
information linked between the likeliness of sexual orientation and laterality. Using one hand
more than the other. The significant data from 6,182 homosexual and 14,808 heterosexual men,
showed that homosexual men had 34% greater odds of being non-right handed than heterosexual
men, and data from 805 homosexual and 1,615 heterosexual women had 91% greater odds of
being non- right handed than heterosexual women RichardA.Lippa,Ph.D.1 Other gender-
atypicality has been linked to this finding, one would be gender identity disorder. In an
international survey, more than 11,000 participants, documented that 10.6% of males and 8.5%
of females are at higher rates of heft- handedness. Even though the number of theories found of
small but reliable gender differences found in handedness, the results remain poorly understood.
Prenatal Androgen Theory is the most reasonable explanation of homosexuality in
the social behavior of human genders. Stating the sexual orientation is established in the womb
during fetal development. Although with more higher androgen exposure, comes more gender
typical patterns of development, in the males case it would be a greater chance of left-
handedness. Corresponding to gender- related personality traits, within sexual orientation groups,
non- right handedness is associated with masculine traits for both sexes. Predictions have been
made based on simple linear version of prenatal hormone theory, the androgens masculinize
behavior between sex and then is compared on average (James, 1989). Consequently there has
been strong data shown the prenatal hormone theory of handedness, concluding that the non-
right-handedness occurs more in the males sex than females.
Handedness and the Diverse Gender-Related Personality Traits in Humans
Neurological and developmental problems can be the cause of so many theories.
For instance the Pathological left- handedness theory, stating that left-handedness is caused by
pathological stressors, as in birth traumas, or cerebrum impairments. Evidence has proven that
left-handedness is associated with numerous cognitive developmental problems, including
learning disabilities, intellectual retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, etc. (Previc,1996). An
argument has been made that moderate right-handedness is the optimal evolved human trait and
therefore that developmental instability leads both to non-right ...

The Family Crucible: The Intense Experience of Family Therapy In The Family Crucible, a unique way of looking at family therapy is used. This approach probably would not be something that would be done by therapist now. The more that we study systemic approaches the less I believe that there are any individual problems. With that being said there is a long reach that effects of parenting has on a child. * . Describe how Carolyn and David fit in terms of authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive forms of parenting. * Authoritative parents set clear and consistent limits for children.
They are flexible but firm, which leads to children who are responsible, cooperative, and self reliant. * There are almost as many parenting “styles” in the world as there are parents. However, most experts have classified parenting styles into three main categories: authoritarian, permissive and authoritative. If you are aiming to raise a self-reliant, pleasant, well-behaved child, the authoritative parent will generally have the most success. * What is Authoritative Parenting? * Authoritative parents exercise control over their children, without being controlling.
They set rules and guidelines that they expect children to follow. But they also recognize that sometimes flexibility is called for. Authoritative parents often express love and affection to their children, without fear that such expressions of emotion may affect their ability to discipline. As their children get older, authoritative parents encourage more responsibility and freedom, within well-outlined rules. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other children’s health organizations state that children of authoritative parents usually grow up to be independent, socially successful, and respectful of authority. This style is sometimes also referred to as an indulgent or non-directive parenting style
* The inconsistency of the permissive parenting style often leaves devoted parents grieving for their parenting mistakes. *
Permissive parents have the belief that really showing their child love and feeling their love, in return, is their ultimate goal in parenting.
* They do love their children and are highly bonded to them. But their relationship is one of equals rather than as parents to children. *
To gain compliance from their children they will often resort to gift giving and even out right ribery, rather than setting boundaries and expecting obedience.
* Permissive means to be lenient, liberal, lax and hands-off. During the 1960s, developmental psychologist Diana Baumrind described three different types of parenting styles based on her researcher with preschool-age children. One of the main parenting styles identified by Baumrind is known as the authoritarian parenting style. Authoritarian parents have high expectations of their children and have very strict rules that they expect to be followed unconditionally.

BRITTNEY’S POST:
How will you prepare for a meeting with a family when a challenging behavior occurs?
I will prepare for a meeting with a family when a challenging behavior occurs by first contacting them and notifying them of the behavior as well as sending a note home with dates and times of availability. I would then get all my notes together about the child in questions behavior and if I do not currently have any notes already typed up I will then start making a list of all of the challenging behaviors this child exhibits. I would have some strategies prepared as well of how to correct these behaviors, but I would of course ask the parents if they have any input on specific strategies and/or discipline that they would like me to use.
List three strategies you will use when meeting with a family to discuss their child’s behavior.
· Be a straight shooter: I would just tell the parents out right the type of behavior that they are exhibiting. It is better to get straight to the point rather than beating around the bush about their child’s behavioral problems.
· Explain how you are handling the behavior: This also goes with being s straight shooter because you need to let the parents know how you are planning to correct the behavioral problems while they are in your care. I would also make it clear that you are open to any and all suggestions they may have.
· Be friendly: This is probably one of the most important strategies in my opinion because you need to let the parents know that you are there to help their child. When you are friendly to a student’s parents it will most likely make them more comfortable in your ability to correct their child’s troubling behavior.
Examine your own attitude and discuss whether or not you think families are responsible for how their child behaves at school. Support your stance.
I believe that a parent could be responsible for how their child behaves at school, but I also believe that the parent could have nothing to do with how their child behaves when they are not around. I am a firm believer in it all depends on the situation. The reason for the child’s behavior could be because of the way their parent treats them or it could be another child at school.
What data and records will you bring into the discussion to help move the conversation forward in a positive direction?
I would bring any and all data and records regarding the child’s behavior into the discussion. I would then discuss a few options on how I plan to correct their child’s behavior as well a.

Shannon,
I like what you have chosen for your academic Journal article. I believe that body image and eating disorder go hand and hand. I think that the goals of the study will show that it is not only eating disorders that cause people to think about body image. It is also society and the things that we read in magazines as well a television. Self-esteem is a big issue when it comes to how people see themselves and compare to other people.
Why do you think in the study they did not have the same number of males as they did females? They body mass index calculator is sometimes not a good thing to use when determining heathy weight. Everybody has different body structures and builds, which could mean that even though the mass index says there overweight they may not feel like they are.
Under the findings you said that the females were shorter and lighter than the males used in this study. I think the reason for this is the way men are built is different than woman and carry there weight differently. In the study it shows men being overweight, but I believe it is because of their body is structured different than women. Men have more muscle than and muscle weight more than fat. I think that the weight status would be hard to define.
I would say that they are correct that body image makes some people feel negative about themselves and creates feeling of not liking who they are. Nice job on your paper.

Correlates of bullying behaviors among a sample of North American Indigenous adolescents
, written by Lisa A. Melander, Kelley J. Sittner Harthorn, and Les B. Whitbeck, details the factors that contribute to bullying, using a sample of North American children from the ages of eleven to fourteen.
The purpose of this study is to learn the components that play a part in whether a child may become a bully, or will be the one who is bullied by others. After the authors did their own research, they did find previous studies on causes for bullying behaviors. These studies found that children from families in which they did not receive enough affection from their parents were more likely to bully others. Similarly, these studies found that if the child had a good, open relationship with their parents, they were less likely to be bullied themselves. Another finding the authors mentioned was that children who had good parents to look up to had a lesser chance of bullying others. The teachers also play a roll in the amount of bullying in the schools. Studies found that if the teachers were more involved with the students and offered encouragement, then the amount of bullying at the s.

Comprehensive Client Family Assessment
Demographic information: Latino American family. Low socioeconomic status, working class.
Presenting problem: “Social worker believes our discipline style is too harsh and we need
parenting classes”
History of Present Illness: Both clients present to the office with concerns regarding their
children being “taken away” by social services as she believes they parent too harshly. They
adamantly proclaim that they are very good, loving parents but believe that when a child is not
following the rules, strict and physical discipline is necessary. They both explain that they were
brought up this way and that physical or emotional abuse is not present. They explain that this is
part of their culture and all they know is right. The social worker referred to the family as “those
Mexicans” and seemed to be bias towards the family. Also, she seemed to not consider any
alternative for the family after they requested it based on their working schedule and after
explaining their cultural belief system.

Diagnostic Skill Application IIFor this assignment, you are prov.docxmariona83
Diagnostic Skill Application II
For this assignment, you are provided with four case studies. Review the cases of Julio and Kimi and choose either Reese or Daneer for the third case.
The Case of Julio:
Julio is a 36-year-old single gay male. He is of Cuban descent. He was born and raised in Florida by his parents with his two sisters. He attended community college but did not follow through with his plan to obtain a four-year degree, because his poor test taking skills created barriers. He currently works for a sales promotion company, where he is tasked with creating ads for local businesses. He enjoys the more social aspects of his job, but tracking the details is challenging and has caused him to lose jobs in the past. He has been dating his partner, Justin, for five years. Justin feels it is time for them to commit and build a future. Justin is frustrated that Julio refuses to plan the wedding and tends to blame Julio’s family. While Julio’s parents hold some traditional religious values, they would welcome Justin into the family but are respectfully waiting for Julio to make his plans known. Justin is as overwhelmed by the details at home as he is at work.
The Case of Kimi:
Kimi is a 48-year-old female currently separated from her husband, Robert, of 16 years. They have no children, which was consistent with Kimi’s desire to focus on her career as a sales manager. She told Robert a pregnancy would wreck her efforts to maintain her body. His desire to have a family was a goal he decided he needed to pursue with someone else. He left Kimi six months ago for a much younger woman and filed for divorce. Kimi began having issues with food during high school when she was on the dance team and felt self-conscious wearing the form-fitting uniform. During college, she sought treatment because her roommate became alarmed by her issues around eating. She never told her parents about this and felt it was behind her. Her parents are Danish and value privacy. They always expected Kimi to be independent. Her lack of communication about her private life did not concern them. They are troubled by Robert’s behavior and consider his conspicuous infidelity as a poor reflection upon their family. Kimi has moved in with her parents while she and Robert are selling the house, which has upended the balance in their relationship.
For a third case, choose one of these videos:
The Case of Reese:
Reese is a 44-year-old married African American female. Her parents live in another state, and she is their only child. Her father is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was stationed both in the United States and overseas while Reese was growing up. She entered the Air Force as soon as she graduated high school at age 17 and has achieved the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. She has been married 15 years to John, and they recently discovered she is pregnant. The unexpected pregnancy has been quite disorienting for someone who has planned and structured major decision he.

Ironically, homelessness itself a kind of mental torture which automatically creates distress in a person's mind and bitterness about life. A person without having shelter feels uncomfortable; unsatisfied with his life that he cannot feed his family, even the state's policies are not fair enough to support homeless families. Here, in this paper, we discuss child homelessness which is a great threat to child health in terms of mental distress and academic performance (Vostanis, 1998). In a recent survey, there were 1.4 million children experienced homelessness worldwide, about 75% of children experienced homelessness by doubling-up with other families. On the other hand, 15% of children were in shelters, hotels/motels percentage calculated as 7%, and those were who didn't have shelter to live were 4%. The data has been collected from 2016-17 survey regarding measuring the child homelessness in all over the world according to which appropriate measures could be taken to ensure the provision of shelters, homes, education to homeless children effectively and efficiently. The data mentioned above is being reported from two sources, i.e. school districts required to report based on the number of homeless students they serve. In contrast, others belong to the consensus of federally funded homeless shelters and temporary housing programs conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban development.
Child Homelessness Statistics and Survey
Furthermore, the most important thing noticed during this survey is that overall child homelessness affects the mental health of the children and their academic performance. They do not feel comfortable while studying with 13-14 other family members, unsatisfied mind creates mental trouble and become the reason of destruction in overall academic performance. The explanations behind vagrancy in this get-together are extraordinary: many are overcomers of local violence, four and the get-together moreover consolidates uprooted individual families, generally in U.S. Homeless young people are on a very basic level more plausible than everyone, or assessment kids in stable housing, to have conceded development, six learning difficulties, seven and higher speeds of mental prosperity issues (social issues, for instance, rest agitating impact, eating issues, ill will, and overactivity, and energetic issues, for instance, despairing, anxiety, and self-harm).6,8–10 Such issues are not express to down and out families. They occur in various families living in trouble. They are related to threatening life events that rush vagrancy, for example, family breakdown, abuse, receptiveness to for ...

In a recent survey, there were 1.4 million children experienced homelessness worldwide, about 75% of children experienced homelessness by doubling-up with other families. On the other hand, 15% of children were in shelters, hotels/motels percentage calculated as 7%, and those were who didn't have shelter to live were 4%. The data has been collected from 2016-17 survey regarding measuring the child homelessness in all over the world according to which appropriate measures could be taken to ensure the provision of shelters, homes, education to homeless children effectively and efficiently. The data mentioned above is being reported from two sources, i.e. school districts required to report based on the number of homeless students they serve. In contrast, others belong to the consensus of federally funded homeless shelters and temporary housing programs conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban development.
Child Homelessness Statistics and Survey
Furthermore, the most important thing noticed during this survey is that overall child homelessness affects the mental health of the children and their academic performance. They do not feel comfortable while studying with 13-14 other family members, unsatisfied mind creates mental trouble and become the reason of destruction in overall academic performance. The explanations behind vagrancy in this get-together are extraordinary: many are overcomers of local violence, four and the get-together moreover consolidates uprooted individual families, generally in U.S. Homeless young people are on a very basic level more plausible than everyone, or assessment kids in stable housing, to have conceded development, six learning difficulties, seven and higher speeds of mental prosperity issues (social issues, for instance, rest agitating impact, eating issues, ill will, and overactivity, and energetic issues, for instance, despairing, anxiety, and self-harm).6,8–10 Such issues are not express to down and out families. They occur in various families living in trouble. They are related to threatening life events that rush vagrancy, for example, family breakdown, abuse, receptiveness to for ...

Colleagues #: 1
The family client is made up of a father, mother, and their son, a ten-year-old boy. The family is biracial and is made up of four people; father, mother, a ten-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter. Initially, they had visited the clinic on a referral basis from the family’s psychiatrist. They had concerns with the behavioral issues their ten-year-old son exhibited while at home as well as at school. The son is currently in fifth grade and attends a public school, the mother runs a local coffee shop in their neighborhood, and the father is a construction worker. The mother was talkative and soon started talking about stressors in life, including their son’s behavioral issues. She states that besides receiving services and extra help her son gets while at school, he is still lagging behind. The exact services had not been explained. The father did not talk much. In fact, he sat away from the family and always displayed a sarcastic grin on his face every time the mother complained. The son was friendly but did not talk much.
After assessments and evaluations, diagnostic evaluations established that the kid had ADHD. In addition to this, the family displayed tendencies of dysfunctional interactions. Once the family unit was mentioned, the mother was quick to state that she believes that there was an issue with the way the whole family functioned. She further suggested that they needed help as a family to understand their situation better as we as know why their son was having behavioral issues. Family therapy was suggested. Everyone but the father readily consented to the suggestion. He later on consented.
Over the past two sessions, the father seemed uncomfortable and hardly participated. He would once in a while tell his wife to shut up when confronted and criticized. The mother always brought up her dissatisfaction with the way her husband lacked warmth and concern for their son’s issues. She felt that the whole burden of raising their kids was on her. She further stated that without him interfering, the son would soon influence their younger daughter, which was already happening. The son spent much of the time stooped over the table due to attention being always on him. He was always silent and uncomfortable.
Interactions between the clients were more complicated than anticipated, and too much time was spent on the interaction between the mother and the therapist. A therapeutic relationship was easily formed between the mother and the therapist. The other members of the family hesitated, with a continual alli.

Shannon,
I like what you have chosen for your academic Journal article. I believe that body image and eating disorder go hand and hand. I think that the goals of the study will show that it is not only eating disorders that cause people to think about body image. It is also society and the things that we read in magazines as well a television. Self-esteem is a big issue when it comes to how people see themselves and compare to other people.
Why do you think in the study they did not have the same number of males as they did females? They body mass index calculator is sometimes not a good thing to use when determining heathy weight. Everybody has different body structures and builds, which could mean that even though the mass index says there overweight they may not feel like they are.
Under the findings you said that the females were shorter and lighter than the males used in this study. I think the reason for this is the way men are built is different than woman and carry there weight differently. In the study it shows men being overweight, but I believe it is because of their body is structured different than women. Men have more muscle than and muscle weight more than fat. I think that the weight status would be hard to define.
I would say that they are correct that body image makes some people feel negative about themselves and creates feeling of not liking who they are. Nice job on your paper.

Correlates of bullying behaviors among a sample of North American Indigenous adolescents
, written by Lisa A. Melander, Kelley J. Sittner Harthorn, and Les B. Whitbeck, details the factors that contribute to bullying, using a sample of North American children from the ages of eleven to fourteen.
The purpose of this study is to learn the components that play a part in whether a child may become a bully, or will be the one who is bullied by others. After the authors did their own research, they did find previous studies on causes for bullying behaviors. These studies found that children from families in which they did not receive enough affection from their parents were more likely to bully others. Similarly, these studies found that if the child had a good, open relationship with their parents, they were less likely to be bullied themselves. Another finding the authors mentioned was that children who had good parents to look up to had a lesser chance of bullying others. The teachers also play a roll in the amount of bullying in the schools. Studies found that if the teachers were more involved with the students and offered encouragement, then the amount of bullying at the s.

Discussion: Influences on Diagnosis and Outcome
The addition of more Z Codes to the DSM-5 is congruent to how a social worker as a clinician should conduct an assessment and determine the appropriate treatment.
For this Discussion, review The Case of Chase, analyze Chase’s story, and note his original DSM-IV diagnosis. Using the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, determine Chase’s primary clinical diagnosis. Next, note the changes in the Autism Spectrum disorders, and include the Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention (ICD-10-CM, Z codes) in your diagnosis. Then identify the potential risk and prognostic factors from both the biological and environmental perspective.

Diagnostic Skill Application II
For this assignment, you are provided with four case studies. Review the cases of Julio and Kimi and choose either Reese or Daneer for the third case.
The Case of Julio:
Julio is a 36-year-old single gay male. He is of Cuban descent. He was born and raised in Florida by his parents with his two sisters. He attended community college but did not follow through with his plan to obtain a four-year degree, because his poor test taking skills created barriers. He currently works for a sales promotion company, where he is tasked with creating ads for local businesses. He enjoys the more social aspects of his job, but tracking the details is challenging and has caused him to lose jobs in the past. He has been dating his partner, Justin, for five years. Justin feels it is time for them to commit and build a future. Justin is frustrated that Julio refuses to plan the wedding and tends to blame Julio’s family. While Julio’s parents hold some traditional religious values, they would welcome Justin into the family but are respectfully waiting for Julio to make his plans known. Justin is as overwhelmed by the details at home as he is at work.
The Case of Kimi:
Kimi is a 48-year-old female currently separated from her husband, Robert, of 16 years. They have no children, which was consistent with Kimi’s desire to focus on her career as a sales manager. She told Robert a pregnancy would wreck her efforts to maintain her body. His desire to have a family was a goal he decided he needed to pursue with someone else. He left Kimi six months ago for a much younger woman and filed for divorce. Kimi began having issues with food during high school when she was on the dance team and felt self-conscious wearing the form-fitting uniform. During college, she sought treatment because her roommate became alarmed by her issues around eating. She never told her parents about this and felt it was behind her. Her parents are Danish and value privacy. They always expected Kimi to be independent. Her lack of communication about her private life did not concern them. They are troubled by Robert’s behavior and consider his conspicuous infidelity as a poor reflection upon their family. Kimi has moved in with her parents while she and Robert are selling the house, which has upended the balance in their relationship.
For a third case, choose one of these videos:
The Case of Reese:
Reese is a 44-year-old married African American female. Her parents live in another state, and she is their only child. Her father is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was stationed both in the United States and overseas while Reese was growing up. She entered the Air Force as soon as she graduated high school at age 17 and has achieved the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. She has been married 15 years to John, and they recently discovered she is pregnant. The unexpected pregnancy has been quite disorienting for someone who has planned and structured major decision he.

refrences you can use:
Psychological Capital
Psychological capital is a positive psychological state with four components: self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency. Self-efficacy means having confidence in oneself to complete goals. Optimism is more than just being positive; it is purposely and positively reframing external negative experiences. Hope is about persevering toward goals, redirecting yourself when faced with a setback. And resiliency refers to one’s ability to bounce back from adversity. Together they are greater than the sum of their parts.
Psychological capital, like widely recognized concepts human and social capital, is a construct similar to economic capital, where resources are invested and leveraged for a future return. Psychological capital is different from human (‘what you know’) and social (‘who you know’) capital, and is more directly concerned with ‘who you are’ and more importantly ‘who you are becoming’ (i.e., developing one’s actual self to become the possible self).
Psychological capital is operationally defined as an individual’s positive psychological state of development that is characterized by: (1) having confidence (self-efficacy) to take on and put in the necessary effort to succeed at challenging tasks; (2) making a positive attribution (optimism) about succeeding now and in the future; (3) persevering toward goals, and when necessary, redirecting paths to goals (hope) in order to succeed; and (4) when beset by problems and adversity, sustaining and bouncing back and even beyond (resiliency) to attain success (Luthans, Youssef, & Avolio).

She has been helping college students find jobs and adjust to the workforce for the past nine years. When several alumni told her that the workplace was not what they expected, she probed further to see why some graduates transition well and others do not. Her research—which is discussed in “
Newcomer Adjustment Among Recent College Graduates: An Integrative Literature Review,”
an article co- written by Larson and published in the September 2013 Human Resource Development Review—revealed that successful new grads have a higher level of something called “psychological capital.”
What is psychological capital?
It is a positive psychological state with four components: self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency. Self.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Section One:
Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in
crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you
must address. You must also determine the primary problems
(this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal
diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to
assist the family. In your project, do the following:
Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms.
Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they
contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the
“identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so,
describe who and why.
Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental
health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that
should be noted as you proceed with the client.
Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s
perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to
assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case.
Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family.
Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations,
gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of
these might contribute to the problem.
Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and
at least one
general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain
how this may or may not impact the family dynamics.
2. Describe
one
intervention you might use for the identified client that would
address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial
factors.
Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to
support the use of the interventions you have identified.
Briefly describe
one
preventative technique that you might use to reduce the
likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current
crisis.
Section Two:
Reflect on your journal entries throughout the course and
consider what you may have learned about yourself as a future
clinician working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of strength you have identified by completing
this course that will assist you in working with children,
adolescents, and families.

Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Chase
Chase is a 12-year-old male who was brought in for services by
his adoptive mother. He
is very small in stature, appearing to be only 8 years old. He
also acts younger than his 12 years,
carrying around toy cars in his pockets, which he proudly
displays and talks about in detail.
Chase was adopted at age 3 ½ from an orphanage in Russia. The
adoptive parents are
upper middle class and have three biological children (ages 9, 7,
and 5). Chase is reported to
often get upset with his siblings and hit or kick them. His
mother stated that Chase has always
had issues with jealousy, and when her other children were
younger, she had to closely monitor
him when he was around them. She reported several occasions
when she found Chase attempting
to suffocate each of his younger siblings when they were
babies.
4. The mother stated that Chase came to the United States without
knowing any English.
She knows very little about his family of origin other than that
he lived with his biological
parents until age 2 and then lived in the orphanage until he was
adopted. She reported that the
plane ride from Russia was horrible and that Chase cried the
entire flight and refused to sleep for
the first 2 days they had him.
The mother reported that Chase often hides food in his room
and gorges himself when he
eats. She does not understand this behavior because he always
has enough food, and she never
restricts his eating. In fact, because of his small size and
weight, she often encourages him to eat
more. She also reported that Chase hates any type of transition
and will get upset and have
temper tantrums if she does not prepare him for any changes in
plans. He is reported to kick and
hit both parents, and they have had to restrain him at times to
stop him from hurting himself and
others. The parents have never sought help before, but recently
the school has been complaining
7. criteria for special education, and an
individual education plan (IEP) was established. In addition, a
referral was made to psychiatry,
and medication was prescribed to help Chase with his outbursts,
his tics, and with focus while at
school. Lastly, Chase was offered a socialization group with
other children on the autism
spectrum, and he developed better skills in making friends and
eye contact and self-soothing and
calming himself to avoid tantrums.
Reflection Questions
The social worker in this case answered these additional
questions as follows.
1. What specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.)
did you use to address this client situation? Chase obviously
had major developmental issues and issues related to
socialization. Both parents were unaware of their rights and
how to advocate for their son. In addition, the father was very
traditional and thought that his wife was responsible for taking
care of the children and that he did not need to be involved in
parenting. It was necessary to get the father involved and for
both parents to act as a unit. In addition, neither parent had
9. international adoption but it was filed within a specific state,
which allowed him and his family to receive services so he
could remain with his adopted family. In addition, state laws
related to education affected Chase and aided his parents in
requesting testing and special education services. Lastly, state
laws related to child abandonment could have affected this
family if they chose to relinquish custody to the Department of
Family and Children Services (DFCS). 8. How would you
advocate for social change to positively affect this case?
Advocacy within the school system for early identification and
testing of children like Chase would be helpful. 9. Were there
any legal or ethical issues present in the case? If so, what were
they and how were they addressed? There was a possibility of
legal/ethical issues related to the family’s frustration with
Chase. If his parents had resorted to physical abuse, a CPS
report would need to be filed. In addition, with a possible
relinquishment of Chase, DFCS could decide to look at the
children still in the home (Chase’s adopted siblings) and
consider removing them as well.
