Greene Case

1. Based on both the case notes and summary interviews, what are the strengths of the Greene family?

2. If you don’t know whether a particular strength exists in this family, how might you gather information to find out?

3. How does looking only at strengths or only at deficits affect your recommendations for this family?

4. Think about the Bleux family. What potential biases might you have about this case based on race, gender, age, sexuality, class, etc.? Being aware of potential biases is critically important to your role as an advocate. Write down the biases you might have and how you could address them.

5. What were the strengths of the CASA volunteer in this video? Any recommendations on how he might have handled things differently?
