Working with Multi-Problem Families

Chapter  19 of the text reviewed multi-problem families using a multisystemic  model. It is important for human services professionals to have an  understanding of the role family environments play in determining  whether or not multiple problems arise within a family system. Please  use your readings and research peer-reviewed journal articles in the  Purdue Global Library to support your post.

Please respond to the following:

• Chapter 19  discussed different risk factors related to youth problem behavior at  different parts of the social structure (Table 19.1). Choose two of  these risk factors and provide a summary of each.
   
• Using the  two risk factors identified above, create a strengths-based intervention  or strategy that could be implemented to increase resilience. Provide a  brief summary and explanation of each intervention or strategy.
   
• Consider the  risk factors you identified above in terms of public policy. Identify  one policy recommendation you would make to address these risk factors.  Explain your reasoning.
