An Outline for the Smiths family case study analysis

Introduction

In this section, I will address who the case study concerns and include information about the age,

the members of the family and the source of income. I will discuss the financial burden in the

family and how Mr Smith spent his savings on a lawsuit contributing to their financial status.

The health status of the Smith family is an issue of concern, and the ailments have contributed to

the deteriorating condition in the family. I will include information about how health workers

discover the state of the family and convince the family welfare association to offer financial

assistance. The thesis statement will be the treatment plan options adopted by the family welfare

to assist the Smith family in recovery.
