FRAMEWORK
• THE FRAMEWORK USED TO CONDUCT THE CASE PRESENTATION INTERVIEW WAS PERSON-CENTERED
APPROACH AND P.I.E.
• CLIENT-CENTERED: THE CLIENT IS THE EXPERT OF HER LIFE AND THEREFORE AS INTAKE FORM NOR AN
ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED. THE CLIENT SHARED FROM HER PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE SITUATION SHE WAS
IN.
• P.I.E: THE CLIENT’S WERE IN A FAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT. WHEN UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY WERE APPOINTED A
GAL AND LOOKING AT STRENGTHS, LIMITATIONS & SUPPORT SYSTEM; YOU CAN SEE THAT THEIR ENVIRONMENT
CONTRIBUTED TO PREVIOUS AND THEIR CURRENT SITUATION. I ALSO NOTE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH
THEY USE TO RESIDE IN CONTINUES TO IMPACT THEIR LIVES ALTHOUGH THEY ARE PLACED WITH A FAMILIAR
RELATIVE (GRANDMOTHER).
INTERVIEWER'S REFLECTION
• WHAT ARE SOME BIASES YOU HAD GOING INTO THE INTERVIEW?
• WITH THE OLDER TWO I DID NOT THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE SO OPENED

• WHAT WERE SOME VALUE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOU AND THE CLIENT?
• FAMILY DYNAMIC

• WHAT EVENTS OR LIFE EXPERIENCES HAVE SHAPED THEM INTO THE PERSON THEY ARE?
• PARENTS SUBSTANCE ABUSE HAS ALWAYS CAUSED THEM TO BE IN THE CARE OF DSS AND PLACED WITH THEIR GRANDMOTHER.
• THAT ALLOWED THEM TO NOT GET COMFORTABLE AT GRANDMA’S.

• WHAT IS THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION ABOUT DIAGNOSIS, INTERVENTIONS OR TREATMENT

• DSS AND GAL RECOMMENDS CUSTODY WITH A RELATIVE
• WHAT CHANGES DO RECOMMEND FOR THE AGENCY OR SERVICE (NEEDS OF AGENCY, CHANGES, AND RIGHTS ISSUES)? REPORT THOSE TO SUPERVISOR
• NO CHANGES OBSERVED FOR GAL.
