CASE STUDIES
Stephanie
You are a youth worker attached to a local secondary college. Stephanie who is 18 years old comes
to talk to you about recent events that have upset her. You know that Stephanie is doing ok
academically despite having a minor learning difficulty. Stephanie’s life at home is difficult. Her
parents are divorced, and her father has little involvement with her or her two brothers. She doesn’t
get along well with her mother. He mother works full-time.
Stephanie tells you that she recently started a relationship with Zac who is one year younger than she
is. A few weeks ago, she sent Zac some pictures of herself topless. Then over the weekend, she went
to a party and Zac and his friends were there. She said that she had too much alcohol to drink. Zac
took her outside with some of his friends and engaged in an intimate act with her while his friends
filmed them. Stephanie is embarrassed and upset because the video has been sent around the school.
She says Zac loves her and she loves him, and she still wants to be in a relationship with him. She
firmly tells you that she doesn’t want her mother to know any of what she has told you.
Jade Ling
Jade Ling is the 15-year-old daughter of Chinese parents referred by her school counsellor to you.
You are a Reconnect worker at a Reconnect Program (see below for information about this program).
Information gathered by telephone in the intake phase is as follows:
• That prior to about three months ago, Jade Ling was a hardworking and high achieving student.
• She was a quiet and well-behaved student with 2 – 3 close friends.
• However, over the past three months, her grades have deteriorated. She has stopped hanging out with
her old group of friends and now hangs out with the ‘cool’ group of young people.
• She has started smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Although her parents don’t let her go out on the
weekend, she looks for any opportunity to sneak out of the house and visit her friends.
• Jade Ling’s parents are very distressed and angry. They can’t understand why Jade Ling is rebelling
against them. They are worried about the negative influence and role model she is to her younger
sisters. They are talking about sending her to live with an uncle and aunt interstate.
• In her most recent counselling session, she hinted that she has been sexually abused. She would give no
information about when this may have happened or who the perpetrator might be.
The school counsellor made a report to Child Protection. But neither child protection nor the police took any
action because of the vagueness of the sexual abuse concerns.
The school counsellor referred Jade Ling and her family to you (the Reconnect Worker).
Note: The Reconnect Program is a community based early intervention and prevention program for young
people aged 12 to 18 years who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and their families. The aim of
Reconnect is to prevent homelessness by intervening early with families and young people to stabilise and
improve their housing situation and improve their level of engagement with family, education, training,
employment and their local community (Department of Social Services, 2019).
Abe
You work for Anglicare as a youth worker. Early this week, you received a referral from child protection in
relation to Abe, a 15-year-old young person. According to child protection, the police caught Abe shoplifting and
gave him a caution rather than charging him with theft. The police reported the situation to child protection
because they were concerned about Abe’s welfare and risk of placement breakdown. Child protection referred
the case to Anglicare Youth Services – and then child protection closed the case. You are the allocated youth
worker.
Child protection provided you with the following information.
• Abe is 15 years old.
• Abe previously lived with his father, stepmother and half siblings. However, he experienced abuse and neglect
in their care.
• Approximately six months ago, child protection became involved and placed Abe in the care of his paternal
grand-mother Marj, aged 64. Child protection then closed the case.
• There are some generational issues with Marj struggling to accept some of Abe’s normal adolescent
behaviours. Her understanding of contemporary adolescent development is poor.
• Abe is struggling at school, smoking cigarettes, stealing money from Marj, stealing at school and in the
community.
• Abe’s behaviour at home is difficult for Marj to manage.
• In addition, Abe’s father and stepmother are struggling with financial issues, and Abe’s father has now
refused to provide financial support for him.
• Many times over the past 6 months, Marj has threatened to relinquish Abe’s care, and this is creating anxiety
for Abe.
Today you went to visit Marj and Abe, however Abe stayed in his room and refused to talk to you. You spent an
hour talking to Marj about what has been going on at home and the challenges she faces in caring for Abe. Marj
told you that she loves Abe – but doesn’t think she can continue to care for him for much longer.
