Also in your meeting, please ask D what would help her, some of it may not be possible, but some of it may be easier. For example D may like an update on her mother's health after a doctor visit, or may want reassurances that the severity of W health issues is being told to her. Only D15 can tell you, please know that this may settle D especially if you ask D for particular help. perhaps D could make breakfast or help in some way that she is able to do so.
I used to foster troubled teens (not suggesting your D is in that category) but letting teens be involved is important. I learned after case meetings to feed back to the teen involved. For example : we are having a meeting on x which may involve your next foster placement. Is there anything you would like me to say on your behalf or consider? Ok not sure if that is possible but I will feed back to you on what was said as far as I am able. Then in the meeting, teen X and I had a chat about Y and would like us to know Z. I am going to feedback about ZZ, unless advised otherwise. Then teen X I told you we had a meeting about Y and I discussed Z and I can feedback ZZ or no decision was reached on ZZ and I have no feedback to give you.
My H1 was absolutely amazing with the kids and unlike V truly could help with their anxiety. V was a sloooow learner but eventually did learn. I would bet Rzr knows all this already so please just consider V as rambling.
