Case Study:

You work at a shelter run as part of a social work agency that serves runaway teenagers, many of whom have endured painful pasts and suffered various forms of abuse. One day, as you are walking into your home late at night, a teenage client you have been working with walks up to you. She says that she was just kicked out of the house where she had been staying, by her friend's mother, and she is hoping that you will let her crash on your couch. You don't know how she discovered your home address, and she appears slightly ill or high. You know that most of the shelters have closed for the evening, you have a massive headache, and you can hear your dog barking, needing to get outside.
