VIDEO SCRIPT PART 3

LINDA: Thank you for agreeing

to come in and meet together. I know I've met with the

two of you individually, but there are some

issues that we need to discuss as

mother and daughter. Have you two had a chance to

discuss any of the things that have been going on? MRS. BARGAS: Well, it's hard

to talk about anything when I don't know what you

two are talking about. And she doesn't

tell me anything. LINDA: What we do discuss in

this office is confidential. But we are going to talk

openly now about the issues between the two of you. Mrs. Bargas, can you share

some of your concerns that you have about Amy? MRS. BARGAS: I feel like

you're shutting me out. We don't talk the

way we used to. I need you, honey. I've got a lot on me right

now-- work, things with dad. AMY: You've got a lot on you? What about me? She's got me working with my

little brother after school. I have to feed him dinner

and help with his homework. And I've got my own

schoolwork to deal with. LINDA: Amy, how would

you feel about sharing with your mom what's been

going on at school so that she can better understand? OK. We'll keep working on that. How do you feel about Amy's

reluctance to talk about this? MRS. BARGAS: Ever since

I started working, I feel completely out of touch. I don't know what's going on

with anyone in the family now. It scares me. LINDA: OK. I think we've identified some

things that we can work on.

VIDEO SCRIPT PART 2

LINDA: Amy, can you talk to me? You're safe here. AMY: I'm not safe anywhere. LINDA: Tell me what's going on? How are things at home? AMY: My dad's sick. He had a stroke a few weeks ago. Everything's so messed up there. But I'm sure you already

heard that from my mom. You're her social

worker, too, right? LINDA: Yes. AMY: What else did she tell you? I bet she told you I won't talk

to her about what's going on. I can't talk to her. She's so upset about everything

that's going on with my dad. The last thing she needs

to hear is my problems. I thought about talking to my

guidance counselor at school, but I can't do that either. They'll only see me,

and it will get worse. That's why my mom brought me to

you, thinking you can help me, where they can't see. LINDA: Tell me a little

bit more about school. What do you mean by if they

see you it will get worse? AMY: Some girls, they've been

picking on me-- calling me names-- fat pig, ugly. They make fun of my clothes. Yesterday, two of them

are waiting by my locker. They pushed me down,

rubbed food in my hair. There were others in

the hall, but they just stood there and laughed. LINDA: How did

that make you feel? AMY: How do you think? It hurts. They make me feel like a freak. I'm scared what they're

going to do next. I hate school. LINDA: I understand. AMY: But that's not the worst. They text me late at

night, waking me up, saying they're

going to beat me up. They say, I deserve

it for being so ugly. I'm starting to

think they're right. LINDA: Have you told

anybody about these threats? AMY: They'll get me

worse if I snitch. Besides, nobody will understand. LINDA: What do you mean

by nobody will understand? AMY: Because they won't. Nobody understands

what it feels like. Not unless they go through it. [text message] LINDA: How do you

feel right now? AMY: Read for yourself. How would you feel?

VIDEO SCRIPT PART 1

[music playing] LINDA FORTE: Hi, Mrs.

Bargas, I'm Linda Forte, the social worker

assigned to your case. It's nice to meet you. So what brings you in, today? MRS. BARGAS: Well-- I've been out of

work about 3 months. And 2 weeks ago, my

husband had a stroke. He's still in the hospital. So it's been-- a

lot, all at once. And the money-- I don't know how going to

pay the bills, or the rent. We cannot lose our home. We have five children. LINDA FORTE: Has this

been hard on them? It sounds like you've

been going through a lot since losing your job and your

husband being in the hospital. I can understand how you can

feel stressed and concerned. MRS. BARGAS: My daughter Amy-- she's my oldest-- she's been

having the hardest time. She's cutting classes

at school and she's failing two of her courses. LINDA FORTE: So how did

you hear about our agency and how can I help? MRS. BARGAS: Well,

my pastor said that you could

help me find a job and maybe help with

the rent money. And maybe Amy could-- speak to somebody. LINDA FORTE: OK. Has your daughter, Amy, has

she ever expressed any interest in hoping to speak to

somebody about her problems? MRS. BARGAS: Maybe. I don't know. I haven't really

mentioned it to her. But my pastor thinks

it's a good idea. LINDA FORTE: Has Amy ever

spoken to the social worker at her school, before? MRS. BARGAS: No,

I don't think so. LINDA FORTE: OK. That's fine. We can definitely talk

about getting Amy some help. But first, why don't

we talk a little bit about work experience. What kind of job are

you hoping to find? MRS. BARGAS: Well, before

I married my husband, I worked as a nanny. LINDA FORTE: OK. So why don't we talk

a little bit more about that, about

who you worked for, and what kind of

job duties you had. MRS. BARGAS: Well, I was much

younger when I was a nanny. Let me see, it was-- more than 12 years ago. But I don't think I

could do that work, now. Maybe I could work in an office. You know, I'm really good

at working with people. Can you find me a

job in an office? LINDA FORTE: I don't know. I work with a career

counselor, here. She might be able to help you. MRS. BARGAS: I don't know how

I'm going to pay the rent. LINDA FORTE: I know right

now is really tough for you. MRS. BARGAS: I just

don't know what to do. Nothing has turned out

the way I hoped it would. My whole life. I'm really worried

about my daughter, Amy. She's afraid to go to school. She loses her

temper all the time. She yells at me and then

locks herself in a room and she won't speak. I am so confused. I don't know what

to do with her. I just-- I don't know. LINDA FORTE: It's

OK to be upset. Mrs. Bargas? Are you OK? MRS. BARGAS: I'm sorry, what? LINDA FORTE: Are you all right? [music playing] LINDA FORTE: Good news. I spoke with the

career counselor and she has an available

opening for you, tomorrow. She thinks she can

help you find a job. MRS. BARGAS: That's great! Thank you so much. I was wondering,

actually, there's something else that

you could help me with. I told you that my

husband had a stroke. He's going to need

speech therapy. But it's-- we can't afford it. And we don't have any insurance. Is there any chance that

you could call his doctor and see if my husband

can get this therapy? He really needs it. LINDA FORTE: I may

be able to help. But I'm going to need to

understand your husband's situation a little bit better. Is there any way

your husband would be willing to sign

a release form, so I could talk to the doctor? MRS. BARGAS: You can't

just call his doctor? I give you permission. LINDA FORTE: I'm afraid not. According to HIPAA

regulations, the doctor is not allowed to discuss your

husband's condition with me without his consent. Your husband could

sign a release of information form, which

would then make it possible for me to talk to his doctor. I recommend you go home and

talk to your husband about whether he'd want

to give his consent. MRS. BARGAS: OK. I will. Thank you so much. You've been so helpful. LINDA FORTE: Absolutely. And I look forward to

seeing Amy next week. MRS. BARGAS: Bye. LINDA FORTE: Bye. [music playing]
