Nine-year-old Wanda’s teacher notices that for the past few
weeks, Wanda has not been talking to her friends and is always
sitting alone in a corner. After talking to Wanda’s friends, the
teacher finds out that Wanda’s sixteen-year-old brother was killed
in a gang fight two months ago and her parents have since
separated. The teacher talks to her friend Daphne, a counselor, to
see if there is anything she can do about Wanda. She wants to know
if there is any way in which children and families affected by
exposure to violence can be assisted with emotional impact of these
events. The teacher also asks Daphne, in the role of a counselor,
to call Wanda’s parents to see if they would be willing to talk
with her about the death of their son, their separation, and
Wanda’s behavior at school. Daphne is not employed or affiliated
with the school.

teacher?

of these professionals.

to the teacher’s request for you to speak with Wanda and her
family.
