Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a case study - approached from the perspective of the case management. The client is a family whose child was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In the first phase we reviewed the relevant information in order to identify resources. The action plan combined counseling of mother, based on cognitive behavioral therapy, with indirect activities to help the family get the resources they were entitled too. By all steps the efficacy and effectiveness of intervention was evaluated and the beneficiaries were involved all along. The paper tries to advocate for social worker jobs in all pediatric oncology hospitals/clinics.
