Triplett Family Case Study: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren In North Carolina

Superior Essays
1.What did you find most interesting about the case?
The most interesting thing about this case was the fact that it was about grandparents raising grandchildren. For me when I think of family taking care of family it is more along the lines of a child taking care of a parent who is sick. It was interesting seeing this from a different view. While this was the most interesting aspect of the case, it was also interesting how little policies there are out there to help grandparents raising grandchildren in North Carolina. The Triplett family could have benefited from so many policies offered in other states such as preventative subsidized guardianship. There is no specific policy that offers grandparents raising grandchildren resources or money. Being the case manager for this family I expected this to be more of an individual and family case. The more I got involved with this case the more I realized this was so much more than just micro practice it was using both macro and micro to help this family.

2.Were there aspects of your group’s case assessment and intervention plan that you strongly agreed or disagreed with?

While putting together my slides I decided to take the time to find articles about what it means to engage, assess, intervene, and evaluate. From what I read in each of these articles I put a definition on each of my slides to remind me what it was I would do in each of these steps. By doing this it also helped remind the others what each step specifically means. I am the type of person that must write out definitions and questions to make sure I am staying on task. Although at first, I did not see this as a strength many fellow group members shared my information slides helped them get an idea of what share on their

    William Garay, the best interests test was applied in three main components, “ financially, scheduling, and flexibility to accommodate the other parent.” [5] Custody was awarded to the father who initially denied that the child was his. When Ana, the mother, appealed "the court concluded the trial court erred in applying the best interest standard for relying upon relative economic positioning.” [6] This “reversed the order of the trial court for not discussing the continuity and stability in custody arrangements, because comparative income or economic advantage is not a permissible basis for a custody award.” [7] Therefore in any case that economic advantage has become the basis for the “best interest” of the child, singular or sole custody could be awarded instead based on the continued and stable living arrangements that were provided by the acting…

    When we think of a typical American family, we think of a hard working mom and dad, happy kids, finically stable as well as emotionally stable, and a very close family relationship. The sad truth is not many families are like the typical American family. There are families whose parents are force to give up their kids to child services, because they cannot afford to feed the hungry mouths of their children. In “Foster Care and the Politics of Compassion,” Nanette Schorr informs and persuades the audience about the child-protective system and the stigma behind it all. Schorr illustrates a case where a mother and her three kids were cast aside from their abusive husband and father.…

    For this assignment, my group’s topic was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it is prevalent in the novel, ‘Speak’ by Laurie Hall Anderson. My responsibility was to do the facts and statistics slide and to do the two characters that experienced/influenced PTSD slide. While working on the assignment, I did run into some challenges. The biggest being that it was hard to find facts and statistics on PTSD that were Canadian and relatively recent. I ran into this issue because many websites that I found focused more on America, on worldwide facts and statistics, and the information was quite outdated.…

    For me the activity of working as a group especially with other individuals who I have not worked with or talked to before was a good learning experience that had both positive and negative outcomes using Driscoll’s model of reflection as a frame work to elaborate on how I interpreted what happened, what impact the situation had on me and what I will do in the future if presented with a similar situation (Driscoll and Teh, 2001). We were required to do a 10 minute presentation for a health promotion project that we developed. I decided to work with other individuals who I didn’t know and have not worked with before as I believed I would be more productive and respectful if I worked with people I didn’t know very well.

    Secondly, I thought it was impactful to see Connolly’s and Harlan’s evolving relationship. For instance, Connolly was able to influence Harlan to change his vote on the case due to the information he included about Black Muslim’s in the majority opinion he wrote. Not only did Harlan and Connolly admire and challenge their liberal and conservative views during some instances, but, they respected each other outside the court as well. For example, Harlan invited Connolly and his wife over dinner; Connolly offered to help read certain passages out of books and documents for Justice Harlan when he was pain and, Connolly visited Harlan in the hospital when he was sick to have him meet his newborn daughter.…

    1. Why was it important for Sandy to keep the school principal and others informed about her plans? It is important to keep the school officials informed because she would have to validate her reasoning for wanting to address the situation via a group rather than individually. Because this is not the school 's usual protocol and there would probably be some skepticism of her desire to handle the situation in this manner, so it is important for this to be a collaborative effort. Moreover, Sandy was working with teens who had a history of violent behavior, so for her safety and the children 's as well it would be wise to keep officially informed of the group 's progress.…

    Introduction The family as a primary source of social support is very important in promoting active and healthy aging. Increased life expectancy may create multigenerational kinship networks to provide family continuity and emotional support when needed. These multigenerational families are characterized by cross-generational reciprocity and interdependence – grandparents and grandchildren sharing over three decades of life and bond (Hooyman & Kiyak, p.345). Grandparenting is an evolving role affected by social changes such as “women in labour force, distance, divorce, remarriage, reconstituted families and international adoption that have seriously altered the classic family structure and the challenges of grandparenting” (NACA, 2005. p1).…
