When Did Irene Become Too Dependent On A Friend
1. I do not feel that Irene became too dependent on her classmate whom she met online. I believe that talking to her friend online became part of her life. Irene had developed a bond with her classmate. As humans, there are people that we bond with and share a connection. Interacting with the people that we share a connection gives us support and we have someone that we feel understands what is going on in our everyday lives. I believe that is what Irene had with her online friend. They communicated through emails at least 3 to 4 times a week. Honestly, that isn’t a lot of communication. That seems like a reasonable conversation for people that had a close bond. They did not talk every day. It seemed like they had something similar …show more content…
If Mike was my brother I would not be contacting the human resource department at my job. I would want to get him help. I would talk with him. I would also try to get others that he was close to involved. I am bossy. When it comes to my loved ones, I will do whatever I need to do for them. If I see that Mike is depressed, I know that I would go over to his house and it would be confrontational because I feel that he needs to grieve. He needs to get it out. I feel that he is walking around like a zombie because he hasn’t released any emotion. He is keeping it bottled up inside. He is not really accepting the fact that his wife has passed away. He has clearly shown that he is not able to move on because he refused to change anything when it comes to his wife. Yes, talking to someone can help. Sometimes a person needs to find a way to release what they are feeling by other means other than talking. They are hurting greatly and they do not know how to release the hurt that they are feeling. Talking doesn’t always release the hurt. Sometimes a person needs to be pushed to release what they are feeling. Mike needs a push because talking is not working. It doesn’t appear that he really grieved for his father either. He seems to avoid expressing his emotions. As his sister, I would have to find a way to get him to release …show more content…
If I was assigned to the S family’s case, I would want to try and make arrangements that could give the children some stability. What I mean by this is that the children being taking from the mother are a common occurrence. The children are being placed in a foster care more than they need to be. I would like to try to find a person that could take the children together if this occurs again. I would actually try to find a family member or close family friend that could work with the S family in case Ms. S goes through this again. This way the kids could have an opportunity to go with people that they are around on a regular basis. If it is not possible to have a family member or close family friend, then try to make arrangements for a sort of standby foster family where the children would not have to be separated and they would have people that they can become familiar with. It isn’t easy for children to have to keep changing who they live with each time Ms. S doesn’t take her meds. The children will experience many emotions because of this. I do not want the children to become angry and resentful. I would like the children to attend both individual counseling and group counseling. I would offer them both individual counseling because of their age and I would offer group counseling because they need to be able to interact and talk with each

    Who are the stakeholders? The main stakeholders in this case are the children. They are the ones depending on improvements in the CPS to keep them safe and protected. Another set of stakeholders are the families, both biological and foster.

    Grief doesn't have a timetable. The person may look fine and back to his or her regular activities, but still suffering inside. Keeping up appearances can be stressful and tiring. Hearing comments about 'how strong' they are can put an added stress on them and encourage them not to show their feelings. Grief is commonly brought back to the surface on special days such as birthdays, anniversaries and the day of the death. You can help your grieving friend or loved one by being especially sensitive to their feelings during those times.…
