Reference no: EM13501126

Evaluate the case study below using the three levels of intervention, micro, meso, and macro.
You will write a five-page essay discussing how you would interview and intervene in the case.

Chris is a single father who is trying to work and raise three small children. His wife was killed 2 yrs ago in a traffic accident. After the initial shock and outpouring of support from friends and neighbors, Chris found himself alone with all the responsibilities and very unsure of himself. He would like to meet other men who have the same problems but cannot find any groups, even though he has been told about several men who are in the same situation. He tells you he is not sure what the best method is for disciplining his children, whom he describes as “good kids.” Sometimes he feels he is too lenient with them and at other times he is afraid he is unnecessarily strict with them. A local women’s health center has groups for bereaved single parents, but Chris believes those would not be open to him. “It would be all women, wouldn’t it?” he asks. In addition, he is having a hard time at work balancing the responsibilities there with parenting responsibilities at home. “Of course, I want to do a good hob and get the promotions so I can support these kids through college, but I need to be home in the evening, or someone does, and I don’t think that is always well received at work.”
