You need to address the following questions in your response (300 words total):
Based on Margaret’s biological age, in what stage of human development is she? Cite the specific stage in Erikson’s Human Development theory. How is Margaret’s human developmental stage relevant to the case? What unique ethical concerns arise during your client’s stage, and how would you address them? (Hint: Ch7 Talks about birth – 18. See the handout in the module for Erikson’s stages of development. )
What are two social welfare programs (Macro Social Work) that your textbook mentioned that you think could help the family based on their presenting problems and needs? Why did you select these two programs? (Consult and use your course textbook for specific social policies/programs. Hint: Ch 7, 8, and 11 have some specific policies/programs, as does the rest of the textbook.)
Based on Margaret’s father’s biological age, in what stage of human development is he? Cite the specific stage in Erikson’s Human Development theory. What kinds of attitudes does the public display toward people who are in the same human developmental stage as Margaret’s father, and how would you navigate supporting Margaret in addressing the attitudes and expectations people have of those in his developmental age?
What is one question that you have about your case study/client and its relation to this week’s module material?
Margaret (age 38), identifies as a Mexican American homemaker, is seeking services
from a local service agency. Margaret tells the caseworker that she feels overwhelmed with her
usual responsibilities with the additional pressures of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, she feels depressed, doesn’t sleep well or eat much, and is irritable much of the
time. She has eliminated most of her social interactions and the only outside activity she feels
comfortable doing is attending Sunday Mass with her family. Recently, Margaret’s father (77)
had a fall, and is no longer able to live alone. Margaret helped him move into a local assisted
living, but is struggling to ensure his emotional needs are met. She was able to sign him up for
food stamps to assist with the cost of food. Margaret lives with her family in Yuma, AZ (for
history of Yuma https://www.yumaaz.gov/about-yuma for census information
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/yumacountyarizona/PST04521).
Her partner Jenna (age 42) also identifies as Mexican American, is an architect who
works long hours and often unwinds after work by enjoying a few drinks. Margaret
communicates that Jenna’s drinking upsets her because her father was an alcoholic and she is
concerned about the few times Jenna has picked up the kids after she had a few drinks. Jenna is
passionate about her architecture work and was awarded the Yuma Architect of the year in 2019.
Due to COVID-19 Jenna moved her architecture practice to her home and now all four family
members are under the same roof for the bulk of the time together. In talking with the case
worker, Jenna reports the line between family and work has been blurred due to COVID-19, her
drinking has increased after work to destress. She reports her work load has increased since
working from home and she has no energy left to engage with her children or partner at the end
of the day. She says that when she tries to cut back drinking during special events or during Lent,
she finds that she is irritable and craves alcohol. She believes that if she wanted to she could

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/yumacountyarizona/PST04521
probably cut back but feels alcohol helps her relax. Jenna reports she is concerned about Lisa’s
inability to focus and her struggling grades.
They live with their 2 children Lisa (age 15) who is capable of caring for herself and
helping around the house, but prefers to hang out with her friends and be involved in sports and
other extracurricular activities; and their youngest son, David (age 9), who has Down’s
Syndrome and needs assistance in self-care and day-to-day activities.
Lisa (15) is very socially active in extracurricular and athletic events. In school
she fidgets and has a hard time sitting still. She also struggles with time management and tends
to be disorganized. She chronically misplaces everyday object
