Social Work Case With Trent

To start this case with Trent, if I have walked upon a child that is screaming for his mother, that is a sign that something has gone terribly wrong. It raises a question as to, if this child is needing his mother because of the stress in the classroom, or is his mother is missing from his life. The first thing I would do is calm the situation, by taking Trent to the side, to discuss what is going with him. By Trent being five years old, I know I would not get much information. I would then turn to his immediate family and peers using the mezzo level of intervention. To gather this information on Trent, the administration would provide the contact information, and the classroom would provide a group of his peers. According to Karen K. Kirst-Ashman

So many feeling and resentment takes place in a family divided or divorced and sometimes the children are affected the most. In some cases children welcome a divorce when they can understand what is really going on in the family setting. In Trent’s case, he is five years old and having problems because he does not understand what is going on with his family. The family sessions provide a way for dad to tell Trent how he feels about him and what happens between his mother and him was not his fault. The step parent has a chance to tell Trent that she is there for his support and that she expresses nothing but love for him. The mom gets to share how much she loves him, even though she has chosen to work and school to support him with love and financially stability. Trent gets to share the need for his parents and specific needs to be met such as more time with parents and acceptable times with grandmother. Grandmother gets to tell the stories of how she connects with Trent, so he is never alone. Grandma might admit that she cannot take the place of the parents. The peers can provide the social part of Trent’s being. In the classroom, his peers can provide me with his ability to understand and interact with others. The Sunday school class will provide information on his attentive relations with others in a small setting. The mezzo level can provide great information on Trent, relationship with his
