A Case Study Exploration Start Assignment

This week you read about definitions, indications, prevalence, and consequences of adverse childhood experiences. These micro and macro-level crises can have serious, negative, long-term mental and physical health outcomes.

In your Cavaiola and Colford (2017) text, there are several case studies relevant to adolescent adversity on pp. 100-108, as well as pp. 134-137 to explore.

Choose one of these cases and respond to the following questions in 3-5 pages (not counting the cover and reference page) using the boldfaced words as headings throughout the body of the paper for organization and structure:

● Introduction (will directly match your cover page title) ● What type of crisis is this adolescent(s) experiencing (developmental,

traumatic, existential, or psychiatric)? ● What are two guidelines to follow in considering the treatment options for

this/these adolescent(s)? ● Does mandated reporting apply in this case? ● Identify two implications of this trauma both individually and

collectively/communally. ● Identify at least two community resources that exist in your local setting

appropriate for adolescent care following the specific crisis faced. ● Offer a conclusion.
