1. When Michael Oher arrived at Briarcrest Christian, he had very little in the way of education. What in his life failed him the most? His mother? The educational system?

Social services? Himself? What was the biggest obstacle to his success? What could have he done differently in his childhood -- if anything -- to avoid the educational and social void in which he found himself?

2. Before coming to Briarcrest, Michael Oher had no traditional support network, yet a number of people did help him out -- by letting him sleep on their floors, bringing him to

Briarcrest Christian, allowing him to enroll in the school, etc. Why did they help him?

3. Leigh Anne Tuohy took Michael Oher in and embraced him as her son, despite his different background and race. Given similar circumstances, would you do the same?

4. Leigh Anne takes in a boy who is homeless and helps him to be a success. In doing so she has to face criticism from her friends. Why do you think her friends were so quick to criticize? How would you have handled that situation? Do you think it is important to help those that are less well-off then you? Why?

5. Teachers at Briarcrest discovered that Michael Oher was not “stupid”, but rather had trouble learning in a classroom. What does that mean?   Are there any things that you find difficult learning in a “standard” environment?

6. What do you think of the fact that Michael Oher was allowed to take tests orally rather than written ones? Should schools make exceptions for students who have unique issues? Briarcrest Christian is a private school -- would a public school have the resources to operate as Briarcrest Christian did in Michael Oher’s situation?

7. Michael Oher’s success story was made possible, in part, because he had a talent for playing football. What if his talent had been for playing piano, or cooking, or building

furniture? Would he still have been able to rise out of poverty? Why or why not? Do disadvantaged kids who are good at sports have more opportunities than kids who

don’t, and if yes, is that fair -- or just fortuitous?

8. The Tuohys were criticized by people who thought that they must have been using Michael Oher for some purpose. Do you think they were? What was their motivation?

9. Michael Oher was adopted by a rich family and suddenly touted as one of the top football prospects in the country. Yet by all accounts, he remained grounded. What was most responsible for keeping him that way?

The Kissing Bug

Josh couldn't believe how much he had learned during his summer volunteer program working in a village clinic in northern Brazil. Even after completing his first year of medical school, Josh was shocked to learn about infectious disease morbidity in this underdeveloped region. He recalled his first appointment of the morning:

Teresa had traveled a long distance to bring her 6-year-old son, Marco, to the clinic. She was very worried because the boy was feverish and irritable but had also suffered from diarrhea and a severely swollen eye for more than a week (see the Figure). Josh was asking Teresa about any recent eye injuries Marco might have sustained as he carefully examined the swelling and struggled to connect the symptoms and make a diagnosis.

Overhearing this conversation, Dr. Thomas stepped into the examining area to assist. He showed Josh several tiny marks near Marco's lips and said, “When you see Romaña's sign, the characteristic swelling around one eye, you'll often find tiny bites around the lips. Marco is in the acute phase of Chagas disease.”

“You mean he's been bitten by the kissing bug,” Josh replied. “I do see the tiny marks now that you've pointed them out. But what is the connection with Romaña's sign?”

Dr. Thomas explained Marco's condition to Teresa and gave her a 30-day supply of nifurtimox with strict instructions to dose Marco four times every day and return to the clinic for a follow-up appointment. “Josh, you need to tell Teresa why it is so important to give Marco the medicine.”

Struggling to translate, Josh told Teresa that Marco's symptoms would eventually disappear on their own, but the microorganism would remain and cause serious damage that would show up in 10 to 20 years when the chronic phase of the infection begins. The only way to prevent this is to take the medicine as directed now. Josh warned Teresa that even though the nifurtimox could cause some unpleasant side effects in Marco, it was very important for her to continue giving the medication according to the directions.

4.  To what long-term damage does Josh refer?

5.  INVESTIGATE: What are the side effects of nifurtimox? Why can they be more problematic in children than adults?

Before they left the clinic, Dr. Thomas also gave Teresa two spray cans of a pyrethroid insecticide with instructions to spray the cracks and crevices in their mud hut once a week.

6.  Why did Dr. Thomas give Teresa insecticide spray?

Please help me understand and answer questions 4,5,6, in detail, thank you

Workshop 5

Background: In December 2017, 9-year old Jack and his mother (Harriet) were visiting their extended family in Melbourne. They were shopping in the city on 21 December when a driver drove his car into pedestrians at the corner of Flinders and Elizabeth streets. Jack and his mum witnessed this event (in which 18 people were injured, with an elderly man subsequently dying from his injuries). They were not in harm’s way (with the car travelling away from them and the driver quickly apprehended. However, Jack and his mum had multiple conversations about how they each thought they could have been killed during the attack. Two days later, Jack and his mum returned to their home in Brisbane.

Jack lives in an intact family consisting of his biological parents, Harriet and Peter, and his older sister Natalie. He is in Grade 4 at the local primary school and has lots of friends. He is also close to his parents and his grandparents (who are involved in his care during the week).

Immediately following his return home, Jack experienced nightmares on a few occasions about cars driving towards him. After the first nightmare, Jack’s dad (who has a history of anxiety and depression) encouraged Jack to sleep in the parents’ bedroom on a camp mattress. Despite mum’s suggestion that it is time for Jack to move back to his own bedroom, he is still sleeping in his parents’ room. Jack’s mum and dad have had many arguments about this situation. Peter’s (dad) perspective is that:

·       Jack is a very sensitive child who (even as a newborn baby) is more easily upset than other children;

·       Jack has been exposed to a traumatic experience in which he could have been killed;

·       Loving support (including avoidance of going into Brisbane city) is required to prevent Jack from developing ongoing mental health problems following this exposure; and

·       He (dad) could not cope if he lost one of his children.

From Harriet’s (mum) perspective:

·       The experience was upsetting but she and Jack were not hurt and were never likely to have been hurt (as she has discussed with Jack);

·       Peter (dad) needs to talk about the attack less; and

·       Jack is a healthy boy who seems to be handling the experience well.

Question: How likely do you think it is that Jack might develop a diagnosable mental health problem following his exposure to the attack in Melbourne? [Note, you are not being asked to identify possible mental health problems]. Identify 8 factors (a mixture of risk and protective factors – does not need to be 4 of each; but rather 8 in total) to justify your answer, and explain why each is either  a risk or a protective factor.

Frank Pulley was the General Manager of Fred Arnold’s, “Arnold’s Moving and Storage”, a family-owned business. He had been with the company since he got out of high school. He worked summers and vacations to make money during his college years. The company had grown as did Frank. When Frank graduated from college with his degree in business management, he was given the job of Office Accounts Manager. He managed the money for the business. During the evening, Frank went to school and received his MBA in Finance. By then, Arnold’s had expanded to include long distance moving as well as office moves in the Mid-Atlantic area. The company was making over $3,000,000 in sales and was growing at a rate of 8% -10 % a year. Competition was strong in the Mid-Atlantic region so Fred wanted to expand southward. About this time, Fred’s son decided it was time to come back into the business. He had been working in IT in Miami. He liked Miami and felt he could work from there and bring the business down the Eastern Seaboard.

Frank had been with the business for 12 years now and felt that with Fred’s son now back in the business, it might be time to leave. Fred saw Frank at lunch one day shortly after Frank started looking for a new job. “Frank, I just heard that you are looking for a senior management position. In fact, I had to hear it from Janice Jeppy of all people. I ran into her at the bank. She says you applied to Jeppy Movers for a job and was wondering why you would want to switch moving companies. I am wondering too. Don’t you want to stay with us?”

Frank was surprised. The thought had never occurred to him. He assumed that Mr. Arnold’s son and daughter would take over the business. Both of Fred’s children had been working in the business since they were in high school. “I don’t want to leave Mr. Arnold,” Frank replied, “but I assumed that with Frank back in the business, he would take over. I just couldn’t see where there was room for advancement.” Fred was afraid this is what the boy would say. His son was bright and showed promise, but Fred knew they needed experienced people like Frank to keep the company moving forward. Frank was great support for the business and would be the best support that he and his son could have. Fred wondered how he could keep Frank in the business. “Come see me tomorrow at 10 a.m., Frank and we will talk. I can’t let you go to Jeppy Movers, can I”?

What Can Fred Arnold do to keep Frank now and in the future? Include in the discussion how the growth of the company will affect Fred’s ideas.

Also, address succession and Frank’s role in the business going forward.
