Case Study – The Morales Family The Morales family is composed of: Maria, age 20 Lorena, age 4 (Maria’s daughter) Louis, age 32 (Maria’s brother) Lorena has just been enrolled in Head Start, and the family assessment has been completed. You know the following: • Maria dropped out of school in the 9th grade. She loved Head Start when she was her daughter’s age. • She has a part-time job, making minimum wage. • She has had numerous similar jobs in the past, usually staying only 3-4 weeks. • Maria was very quiet during the home visit – Louis did most of the talking. • Lorena is an overly active 4 year old, but no one if the family is concerned. • Lorena’s father is not in the picture. • Lorena’s father used to beat up Maria. • Louis does day labor in construction, when he can get it. • He has been at home caring for Lorena when Maria works recently. • They have just been given notice that the apartment complex has been sold and it will close for remodeling for about 6 months. • Louis said in the assessment that he doesn’t think its anyone’s business about stuff in the family or home – he just wants Lorena to get into Head Start. • There were many empty beer bottles on the front porch when the home visitor came to the apartment and you saw him hide a little container when you came into the apartment. • The house was a mess, it appeared quite dirty as well and there was an unpleasant odor in the house. • During the visit, the home visitor noticed the lack of food in the refrigerator when Maria opened it to get a soda for Lorena as a way to get her to stop interfering in the meeting. • They live in a very run down part of town, with lots of crime and street corner drug dealing and drug use. The police basically let it all happen, spending their time keeping the main part of town safe and clean. • There are no programs of service in the neighborhood, all located in the main part of town. The family uses public transportation. • The sole outpatient drug treatment agency in town has only Anglo staff. • There is no extended family available, except Louis and an aunt who lives across town. • The family does have friends, with whom they do get together for barbecues, parties and the like.
