Identify an action plan grounded in research that may address concerns posed by the case study (Step 7 of the
Planning Table)

The current case study involves alcohol and substance abuse in teens ages 16 - 18 years who are from a middleclass socioeconomic status background. The teens stay at home and have single parents. The teens have social
and behavioral issues. Parents are overworking to maintain socioeconomic status and are less actively involved
with the children as they consider them grownups. A parenting action will be developed to engage the teens in
community support groups and behavioral health plans. Discuss the case in the context of home and public
places, providing solutions that may include special programs such as community support and behavioral health
plans. Also address a home plan to address parental separation
