CASE STUDY 5:  You are attending a picnic given by your best friend’s family.  In the course of the day you are introduced to her cousin, Charles, who is a lawyer for a big corporation.  In the conversation he asks where you work and you respond that you are a youth worker at Sunny Farms.

One day, during an especially demanding group initiative at the camp, 16-year-old Chris ran out of the activity, screaming, “I can’t take any more!”  He headed away from the group towards some trees.  You followed.  Over the past few days, you have noticed that Chris is different from the other youth. His journal entries are usually very short, disorganized, hard to read and mostly focus on concrete examples of things that happened during the day (we had fun; we walked in the woods, etc).  In the group activities he is usually the last one to catch on to the rules, and subtle social cues seem to go past him unnoticed.  He often spends unstructured time alone wandering around the periphery of the camp.  You asked him what is going on and he launches into an angry litany telling you that the other kids don’t like him, that he has tried to get along but that he just can’t take anymore and wants to go home right now.  You asked him what he usually does when he feels this way and he told you that at the group home where he lives they let him go outside and wander in the woods.  You told him that you didn’t realize how he was feeling and asked what can be done to help him.  He wants permission to leave the group when he needs to.  You are uncomfortable with just letting him walk out of the group.  The group expectations are for all members to stay with the group the entire day.  This is a radical departure from the group norms. Chris’ request is ______.
