Question Answered step-by-step “Scott” is 17 years old and used to be a popular, confidant and… “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. ? What are the current risks?
