Discussion Post: Gaps in the Life Model and Problem-Solving Model
My fieldwork was at the Division of Family and Children services in Georgia USA
Using an example from your fieldwork experience and a diverse population you encountered at the agency (for example, in Piedra and Engstrom's article, it was immigrant families), respond to the following:
1) Identify and describe the diverse population and the unique characteristics and/or the distinctive needs of the population in 3 to 4 brief sentences.
2) Explain how the life model can be applied for the population.
3) Explain where the gaps are in applying the life model for this population.
4) When looking at the gaps, explain which theory might be helpful in filling the gaps of the life model when working with this population.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
