Making Ends Meet: Barton Family Case Study (B)

Abstract

This case study is based upon real life experiences that embody a number of common family obstacles: poverty, addiction, teen pregnancy, neglect, adolescent risk-taking, and others. It is provided in four sequential segments spanning the seasons of a calendar year. This case provides students with a context to bridge theory and practice – considering the theoretical underpinnings of assumptions and assessments made for a real family, while determining, locating, and learning about actual service providers.

This case was prepared for inclusion in Sage Business Cases primarily as a basis for classroom discussion or self-study, and is not meant to illustrate either effective or ineffective management styles. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an endorsement of any kind. This case is for scholarly, educational, or personal use only within your university, and cannot be forwarded outside the university or used for other commercial purposes.
