Case study: Referral for the Jones Family

Joshua was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, and he is not expected to live more than a few months. He has been withdrawn and irritable, is crying a lot, and has not been interested in playing or doing the things he used to enjoy before his diagnosis. Also since the diagnosis, his siblings have been fighting a lot at home with each other and their parents and refusing to do their chores. Mari and Janey, the two oldest, are refusing to go to school.
