Summer was the only MSW student in both sections to note that "at risk" encompases more than poor, inner city folks. "A young girl who is desperately trying to "fit in" may be at risk for an eating disorder, a child who watched his parents die in a car accident may be "at risk" for depression, or acting out behaviorally...wife who lost her husband in the war...an older gay man who cannot come to terms with how he feels...can you think of others?
Summer was also able to identify the difference between race and culture (Native American boy who cried when you crushed a spider...)
