2SOCIAL WORK WITH DIVERSE POPULATIONCASE STUDY 1Answer 1)I would prepare myself for my meeting with Michelle by researching on the psychologyand mindset of the homosexual community. Immense care has to be taken to ensure the fact thatat no point in the conservation the feeling of Michelle is hurt. People who are gay and lesbianhave to face the censure of society and they are often ridiculed at large so having a sympatheticattitude towards them is a must. It has to be explained to Michelle that this crisis is not anisolated incident and people of different sexual orientations are being recognized in today’sworld. People with different sexual orientations are being accepted by the society and they havethe freedom to live life on their own terms. Different countries are recognizing the need ofhomosexuals and they would never find happiness in a normal marriage (Owen-Pugh & Baines,2014). Their physical urges would not be satisfied in such a case and sooner or later theirmarriage would fall apart. I need to have another important thing in mind- concern for Franksince he is a loving and caring father. Counselling for Michelle should take into consideration the needs of Frank who has beenbranded by Michelle as a doting father. He is however ill-tempered so care has to be taken toensure the fact that he does not get angry that might lead to a violent confrontation. An angryperson has to be dealt with carefully and he has to be made understood that Michelle is notdepriving him of anything. He would after a point of time become frustrated after living withMichelle so for the happiness of both of them, they should live apart. Michelle will allow him tohave contact with their children so that he can fulfill his paternal duty. He has to me made

He can continueto visit them and his children would also visit him from time to time.Answer 2)The vital issues that are being raised in this case is whether Michelle is right in decidingto move together with Charlie inspite of being married to Frank. An important area of discussionrevolves round the fact regarding whether Michelle was aware of her homosexual orientationbefore her marriage. She being aware of her sexual orientation before her marriage would raiseanother concern about her ethics (Bidell, 2013). Was she right in deceiving her husband then?Did she know Charlie earlier? Did she start feeling for Charlie after marriage? These are thedifferent areas that has to be made clear before progressing on this case and offering her advice.Child custody is another area that has to be delved deep into. The needs of the minor differ fromthat of those who are above 18 years of age. Their point of view is also important regarding withwhom they would like to stay. Their desire is of utmost importance and with whom they wouldlike to spend most of the time. Since the children are minors (one is aged 10 and the other one is12) they would need their mother mostly (Ojanen, Ratanashevorn & Boonkerd, 2016). The interest of the children is the pivotal point around which the issue regarding custodywill revolve. The relationship and the ability of the parents to meet the needs of the children is anarea of consideration. Children who are in the age group of 8-12 can talk about how they feelfreely (Thomas, 2016). They can experience a conflict in relation to loyalty and if the conflict inbetween parents is of a high stature, they can reject one parent for the other. They sometimesinvolve themselves by saying negative things about one to the other. At this age, they havesporting interest and other social commitments. While making parenting arrangement, dueconsideration has to be given to the interest and activity of the children. The child custody should
