Using the Ecological Model, assess Nancy’s situation, as it relates to the three specific levels Micro, Meso and Macro. Be sure to describe the different levels and types as appropriate.
- For example, if Nancy needs assistance in developing parenting skills or assistance with marital communication you would be working at the micro level.
- If the two of you feel that she needs help from a multitude of resources including various agencies, the school, family members, and friends, you would be working at the meso level.
- If she cannot get a particular needed service from the county for her son, your intervention would be at the macro level if you were to meet with the county as her advocate.
- Discuss some of your initial emotional responses while reading the case.
- Were you able to relate to her personally and how could your own personal perceptions (counter transference) influence the services provided?
- For example, if your a domestic partner works at a distance or you have a troubled teen, you may (wrongly) assume that Nancy’s situation is the same as yours which might lead to serious misunderstanding.
