Candice is very articulate and has an excellent vocabulary, however when she is upset or stressed, she will choose to be non verbal, refusing to communicate. She rarely makes eye contact and has no close friends at the school, so she enjoys attending the youth service. She finds it difficult to interact with her peers and usually does not engage in sport or social activities, outside her family home, however she has told you she’d like to “make friends” and “go out more”.  She tries to reduce sensory input, by avoiding loud noises, large crowds and avoiding close physical contact with others. Her parents are very concerned about her lack of socialisation, which makes her awkward and stressed when exposed to people or events outside her immediate family. “Scott” is 17 years old and used to be a popular, confidant and high achieving high school student. He had plans to go to University and become an Engineer, like his Dad and was well on his way to achieving his goals. He played footy every Saturday, worked part time at McDonalds, was saving for a car, had a girlfriend and an active social life. Last year, he was brutally attacked and robbed on his way home from his shift at McDonalds and was hospitalised for 3 weeks, recovering from a broken arm, broken ribs, crushed eye socket and abdominal injuries. Since the attack, he is short tempered, shows signs of depression, has started smoking weed regularly and often has nightmares associated with the attack. He quit his job at McDonalds, stopped playing footy and his grades are starting to slip, jeopardising his chances of getting into an Engineering degree. Because he is still recovering from the physical (and emotional) injuries, Scott is reluctant to socialise as much as he used to and his girlfriend has said he needs to “get it together” or she will break up with him. His parents are frustrated and at a loss as to how to help him. Scott reminds you of your brother, so you feel compelled to help him manage his emotions and behaviour.   “Mandy” is 16 and has left home due to violent clashes with her Mother. She is couch surfing with no real address and has not applied for any Centrelink benefit at present. She admits to petty theft of food and clothes and has engaged in sexual activity with older men for money. Recently she has been introduced to Meth and she said it helps her forget her problems. She eats when she can but says she has lost 6 kgs since leaving home. She will often come to the youth centre to be able to access the free food available, donated by the local Food Bank.She is an average student and says she enjoys being at school, but as she has no fixed address right now, she has not attended school for the past 5 weeks. She has lost contact with her siblings and has not seen her Mother since she left home, so has few clothes or belongings with her. She has a history of asthma and epilepsy but doesn’t know where she left her medication.Last week she was arrested for public deinking and became abusive and struck a police officer. She is due to appear in court in 3 weeks time and expresses to you that she needs to get her life sorted out.
