Inroduction.
A welfare system is a system that provides support and assistance to individuals and
families in need. This can include a lot of aspects and parameters like social background,
economic stability, family dynamic and interpersonal relationships, employment status etc.
(Cunningham & Diversi, 2013). This report identifies a particular case study and helps
understand not only how several factors affect need of a person or a group, but also what are
the structures and frameworks in place that can help the person in need.
The report identifies a 21 old year youth from Australia who has experienced family
violence. He has spent most of his life growing in a foster home. He is unemployed and under
pressure from his friends to do drugs and alcohol. Being aboriginal, he does not have an idea
of his identity and origin, and suffers from identity crisis.
The report evaluates the case of the individual and helps us understand the factors that
affect his living situation, physical and mental wellbeing, what are the welfare systems in
place for a case like his and how he can accept services he need. This report will also serve
the purpose of informing other people what needs to be done in situations like this.
