Option 1: What are the strengths and burdens that would exist for your family if they had to provide care for a mentally ill family member?
Option 2: The Garcia family recently reunified after being separated on different continents (North America & Europe). Two weeks after they settled into their new home in Nashville, Alicia, age 13, was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. What might be issues faced by:
a. The parent?
b. The child?
c. The family?

Option 4: What are some treatment difficulties when dealing with substance abuse in a family? Do you
