I am a Foster Care Case Manager at Caritas Family Solutions in East Alton. I am contacting you on behalf of a mutual client, Chad Edwards Sr DOB 11/30/1982. Chad has an open child case with our agency. As part of this case, he is required to complete substance abuse services.

I received the August 2017 urine analysis lab results that were sent off for additional test results. I am contacting again on behalf of the lab results for the “false” positive urine screening done on 9/6/2017.
Our court date was reset pending the lab testing results.

Southern Illinois Associates LLC reports will allow for me to report to the court if Chad Edwards Sr is compliant and/or uncompliant with his services at your facility.

Enclosed are updated consents

    Foster Youth Misconceptions

    Being a critic for such a vulnerable community is difficult because ethically the critic has to separate himself or herself from being influenced by the misconceptions of the foster youth community that society has created. One misconception that society has for foster youth that are placed in relative foster homes is that they do not experience the same emotional turmoil as other foster youth that are placed in foster homes with non-relatives. By including quotes from the poems in the book about the conversation between the author and his parents on the topic of love, it is clear how complex and how impactful the opinions of biological parents have on their child regardless of him being raised by his uncle. Author Demontae Thompson is attempting…

    Substance Abuse And The Family Summary

    In the book, ‘Substance Abuse and the Family” by Michael D. Reiter stresses on how the family structure regulates around the use of substance and the abuse cause from it. In chapter 14, he stresses about family recovery and the recovery process in which the family must take to restructure the family and their rules where they have an open honest relationship due to communicating. Brown and Lewis presented a four-stage developmental model of recovery for families dealing with alcoholism. The first stage of the model is the drinking stage. Brown and Lewis describes the emphasis of the family during this stage: to hide and maintain the secret, to be in denial and create excuses for the alcoholic, and to have the firm certainty that there…

    The Importance Of Teens In Foster Care

    In 2014 a child entered foster care every two minutes (Statistics, 2014). Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013). Out of that twenty percent, one in five teenagers will essentially emancipate or sign them out of care if they are not adopted before the age of eighteen leaving many jobless, homeless, throwing away education, and with very little independent living skills (Helping Youth, 2013). As well, once a teen is no longer in foster care any services they may have been receiving are completely stopped; in addition, they are also left without health insurance. This is particularly alarming since statistically speaking, foster…

    Substance Abuse In Residential Schools

    Residential schools have caused irreparable damages throughout the generations of First Nations people and families. Today, the children and grandchildren of residential school survivors suffer the consequences of what their past generations went through. Its effects have manifested in self-abuse, resulting in high rates of substance abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. Among First Nations people aged 10 to 45, suicide and self-injury is the top cause of death, responsible for 40 percent of mortalities.

    Substance Abuse In Residential Schools

    “…[C]hewing tobacco, red pepper, soap, molasses, and red ink…” were the main ingredients in the whiskey that early fur traders introduced to Aboriginal individuals with whom they were doing business with (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation [CBC], 2001, para. 5). Unfortunately, this horrendous concoction proved to be highly addictive, placing the Aboriginals who consumed it at significant risk for exploitation, and subsequently addiction. Further, events such as forced assimilation through residential schools resulted in many Aboriginal individuals being separated from their families, further, from their culture, which undoubtedly deprived them of their identity. Thus, it could be argued that tragedies such as residential school only served…
