Team 1 - Timothy Goes to School

Description

Timothy is a 5-year-old boy that has recently been involved in a car accident that has resulted in the death of his father, who he was very close to. Timothy and his mother, Mrs. Smith, are having a tough time adjusting to these unforeseen circumstances. As the family has recently moved into a new neighbourhood, Timothy is transitioning into a new elementary school during the middle of the school year, and life without his father. During class, Timothy has been showing behavioural issues and signs of worsening mental health. Timothy is taking Valium to treat his anxiety following the accident. Timothy’s elementary school has called a meeting for all the individuals that work alongside with Timothy because one of the Early Childhood Educators (ECE) had noticed him drawing violent and graphic pictures of blood and death, as well as showing violent behaviour towards his classmates. The ECE has also contacted a Child and Youth Care (CYC) worker for guidance on this issue.
