Case study: The Cameron family
Jane and Michael Cameron are the parents of 3 children; Maureen (12), Millie (5) and Melanie (18
months). Jane and Michael married when they were 19 years old, despite Jane’s mother Joanie’s
prophesies of a short marriage due to their age. The marriage, while having its ups and downs, has
been a successful and happy one. Jane and Michael describe themselves as happy with family life
and were delighted when they found out Jane was pregnant with Maureen after 12 months of
marriage. They both felt ready to add another member at that time. The pregnancy was celebrated
by both sets of in-laws. Joanie, again, was the exception who thought they should have waited until
they brought a home and established themselves properly.
Their marital relationship had settled into a routine and was going well. The arrival of the new baby
though an unexpected pregnancy was a happy event. Michael and Jane noted they lost their date
nights, spare income and sleep. Initially they found the additional finances needed for their growing
family a burden. They try not to be too irritable with each other, and when angry tend to separate
until the heat has died down then find a mutual way through. They have also been able to
communicate well, mutually problem solve and after 13 years of marriage can cue into each other
very quickly. They decided with family including their girls that relocation might assist them with the
financial burden and their growing family.
Recently, the family moved to a regional country town to seek a better quality of life. Jane and
Michael stated this was for financial and social reasons. Maureen would be entering high school next
year and Millie starting school. They wanted to get away from the risks of capital city living. When a
position came up for Michael as a school district librarian they jumped at the opportunity and
decided to make the move. The extended family thought them brave as they didn’t know anyone in
the region.
Since relocating, the family has been establishing itself through a few networks. Michael’s work as a
librarian servicing the regional school networks has helped with making new friends, along with
joining the “Mighty Maroons” rugby league club. He reckons the bloke’s company keeps him sane
with living in a house full of females. However, he is always on the sideline for Maureen’s netball
games, and Millie’s ballet. Michael, through the sporting clubs, gets to spend Friday night at the local
pub selling raffle tickets. Jane and the 3 children go with him as a social outing and have dinner out.
The girls love their Friday nights as they get to order treat meals and meet other children. This
activity has allowed the family to meet other members of the community.

Jane has found it a little more challenging. She and Michael decided it was best for her to focus on
the home and resettling the children. Jane has loved this period, but the downside has been less
opportunity to make friends. She misses her mates from the city. However, now the family is all
unpacked and somewhat settled Jane has joined a mother’s group and the local Country Women’s’
Association (CWA). The surprise with the CWA group was it was more of her contemporaries as well
as some older women. Jane is enjoying the political activity of the CWA along with improving her
baking skills. Michael and the kids love CWA night as they get baked goods, but Jane is very careful
to make sure their diet is balanced.
Jane’s parents are Joanie and Roy. Joanie (63) and Roy (65) married 40 years ago, and raised four
children, Ronnie (38), Ruben (36) Janet (34) and Jane (32). Ronnie is married to Robyn (35) and has 3
children, the elder two are boys, (11, 9) and the youngest is Maude (6). Ruben is single, living in the
UK. Janet’s partner is Joseph (40) they have one child Matilda (8). The family are close with the
cousins all getting on and seeing each other regularly. Joanie has a long-established anxiety disorder,
and gives advice constantly to Robyn on how to manage Ronnie and the kids. This makes Joanie and
Robyn’s relationship very fractious, with Robyn tending to avoid her and let Ronnie interact with his
mother. Roy, 10 years ago had a stroke but has completely recovered. He is a retired school teacher,
who does a lot of social work with children who have ADHD.
Michael’s parents Margaret and James, married 45 years ago. They lost a child Mark who died at
3years though whooping cough. Michael is an only child, with Margaret having had 4 miscarriages
before Michael’s healthy birth. Both parents now in their 70’s are fit and healthy, and active
members of their community. They miss Michael, Jane and the grandchildren but have a two-week
holiday planned to visit them in a months’ time. All family members are excited and counting the
days.
Millie Cameron is looking forward to her Grandma Margie and Pa James coming, and has missed
them, and her other grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Also, she is starting school shortly and
knows a few children from ballet and can’t wait to play with her new friends. They all love Frozen
and getting dressed up. Millie watched her big sister Maureen go off to school and make friends and
do fun things and can’t wait to go with her. Millie feels that she is too big now she is five to play with
her little sister Melanie. Melanie is only 18 months and can’t play proper games such as skipping or
sorting through her Frozen card collection. Maureen had her school friends Anna and Emily sleep
over. Millie’s parents Jane and Michael told her when she is at big school she will be able to have
NRS71001: Assessment 1
3
sleep overs as well. She hates her 19:00 bedtime and wants to be able to stay up with Maureen until
20:30. Millie also likes to play on her iPad but her parents only allow 2 hours per day.
Since the move to the new house she loves that mum is at tuckshop and comes to her school
activities – dad comes if it’s on the week-end and was an enthusiastic helper with the school fete.
So, all in all Millie is a happy 5-year-old.
Maureen at 12 is juggling wanting to be a seen as her own person and still being with the family on
outings. She wants to make her own decisions (friends, clothes and activities, bedtimes). This is
becoming a point of conflict with her parents, but they are trying to negotiate their way through.
Jane, Michael and the girls have a Thursday night family meeting to plot out the commitments,
activities and plan menus etc. They realise that Maureen is close to becoming a teenager. Despite
becoming a teenager, Maureen and her sisters have a close relationship. They still have their fights
over ‘taking or touching their stuff’ but generally it settles down quickly with Jane or Michael’s early
intervention. Maureen particularly loves Melanie, and has been fascinated with her growth.
Melanie when little would love to cuddle with everyone, but seems to find Jane, Michael and
Maureen the ‘go to’ people when she is distressed. Melanie, at 18 months, is walking and has little
two or three word conversations. Melanie has always been an easy child, quickly establishing
routines, unlike Millie who was a little slow to get into a routine. But both children are outgoing and
happy to explore their world.

The purpose of this review is to demonstrate that you can a) find relevant evaluation and research literature, b) accurately and cogently summarize that literature, and c) articulate a reasonable evaluation question(s) that results from the literature. The review is an analysis of the current literature, not simply a summary, in which you integrate the ideas in the articles under review into an argument, using the course content. The instructor will provide some examples of formats for this. The introduction and literature reviews in the articles you find are also examples of how to review the literature. Locate at least 8 evaluation or research articles (that report data). At least 4 articles should have mostly qualitative data and 4 should have mostly quantitative data. (You are not required in this course to understand the data analysis techniques that are reported.) Assignment Requirements In the paper you will critique and interpret: 1. Theories that are used to address the topic. 2. The research designs, including the sampling plan if there is one, the quality of the measurement strategies, and the methods used in the studies. 3. The findings, particularly in reference to whether the authors seem to have drawn reasonable conclusions. 4. The implications of the theories and the findings for child and youth care practice. 5.

This paper should be no less than 1 & 1/2 pages and no longer than 2 pages in length are required to document your reflections on readings about recovery. You will be provided three case studies, one to be used for each of the three papers. For each paper you will use the Fundamental Components of Recovery” (Chapter 10 Sands and Gellis text) to develop a brief plan to assist the client in the case study in her/his recovery process. First, you will briefly describe the client’s most challenging difficulties (3 – 4 sentences). Do not restate the facts from the case study; only describe the client’s difficulties in your own words (example: Bob appears to be socially isolated and is currently estranged from his brother who is his only living relative). For the remainder of the paper, you will describe how you can assist the client in the recovery process by applying each of the following components from Chapter 10: Enhancement of Client Strengths, Self-Direction, Responsibility, Holistic, Peer Support, and Individualized and Person-Centered. ( example: Bob appears to have had training in high school in carpentry. He currently attends an outpatient day program through the local Mental Health Center. He may be able to volunteer to provide limited carpentry repair for the Center. This could provide increased socialization for him and it may develop into an income-earning opportunity ( Recovery component: Strength-Based) Each paper will be worth 10 points. *** Each paper must be submitted to the Instructor’s email (provided in syllabus) as an attachment. Scenario Robert is a white single male that is 19. He is a college student that works part time as a lifeguard during the summer. Robert comes from an upper middle class family whose parents never divorced, and he has one brother and one sister. Raised in and remains active in L.D.S. church. Robert has worked for 3 summers as a lifeguard at the Desert Shores Community Association Lagoon Pool, and is now lifeguard supervisor. The Lagoon, as it is known, is a naturally shaped, concrete lined and sand covered swimming pool designed to look like a tropical lagoon. It is irregular in shape, surrounded by palm trees and includes a beach around the swimming area as well as a large picnic and recreation area that will accommodate a large crowd of members. On Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, 1998 there were approximately 1,500+ members at the Lagoon, enjoying a picnic and family swimming. As described by Robert, there were so many people in the lagoon you could barely see the water. With 3 lifeguard stands, and several lifeguards on duty and rotating time on the stands, plus those not on the stands working the crowd, Robert felt that even though things were busy they were under control. At the appropriate time, Robert approached a stand to relieve another guard, Tyler. Robert climbed up into the stand, sat down, began scanning the water and crowd, and immediately saw a child floating face up about a foot beneath the surface of the water. He jumped from the stand, entered the water, pulled the child out and observed that her skin was white, her lips blue, her eyes rolled back in her head. There was no respiration and no pulse. He immediately began CPR, thinking to himself: “She’s dead” and “what if she’s dead” and other thoughts about the consequences of a drowning. He worked on the child for what he estimated to be 3 minutes with no response, and then the child coughed but failed to breathe. He continued working and after about another 30 seconds the child began to cough, cry and breathe. Her color began to return as the paramedics arrived and took the child away to be checked at the hospital. The parents had been standing at Robert’s side the entire time he was working on resuscitating the child. The hospital reported there was no brain damage and no broken ribs (common as a result of CPR). Robert came in for treatment approximately 7 weeks after the event occurred. An informal, conversational interview of approximately one hour in length was held. In the course of that interview, the following occurrences were revealed. Robert was having nightmares about an event in which the rescue effort was unsuccessful were experienced; the first occurred on the third night after the event, the second on the following night. Both were extremely violent and traumatic. He experienced numerous spontaneous daytime flashbacks and daydreams with a pattern similar to the nightmares. These were numerous and recurring during the subsequent week. Less violent cued responses to event familiar stimuli, including elevated heartbeat, continued for another two to three weeks. Some sense of detachment and estrangement occurred, though he was not consciously aware of it until the interview. At the interview, the subject realized he had not had sex with his girlfriend since the incident occurred, whereas prior to the incident they had engaged in sex about once a week. Additionally, there was also a greater closeness with parents involving much greater daily communications. Robert indicates a sense of hypervigilance in the workplace and in non-working circumstances. In the course of the interview, it became clear Robert was to some extent blaming himself for the near drowning.
