Problem

Imagine that you are working for an organization that provides case management to disadvantaged young people in the community. A new client, Elena, was assigned to you six weeks ago. During your initial interview you found out that Elena is an 18 year old mother with a three month old daughter. She had been living with her parents but when they found out about her pregnancy she was kicked out of their home. Since that time Elena has been living with a couple of friends but Elena reported that her relationship with these friends had deteriorated since the birth of her daughter. Elena stated that her friends were "not happy with a baby in the house". Elena reported that she has applied for numerous rental units but has not been successful, explaining that she doesn't have any rental history, no rental references, has a low income and feels like she is disadvantaged because she is a young single mother. During this initial meeting, Elena tells you that her primary goal is to "no longer have to move around, live with nasty housemates and actually have somewhere nice to live with my daughter". Her secondary goals included seeking out the support of a mother's group in her local area and finishing her high school studies via a flexible TAFE program.

Consider Elena's primary goal: "no longer have to move around, live with nasty housemates and actually have somewhere nice to live with my daughter". How would you go about helping Elena to transform this into a goal statement that is realistic and in positive terms (i.e., instead of what Elena will not do, the goal is stated as what she will do)?
