The following is a case study.
The current case study involves alcohol and substance abuse in teens ages 16 – 18 years who are from a middle-class socioeconomic status background. The teens stay at home and have single parents. The teens have social and behavioral issues. Parents are overworking to maintain socioeconomic status and are less actively involved with the children as they consider them grownups. A parenting action will be developed to engage the teens in community support groups and behavioral health plans.
Discuss the case in the context of home and public places, providing solutions that may include special programs such as community support and behavioral health plans. Also address a home plan to address parental separation.
