Supervisor:

Mental Health (all family members):Ms. Atacioclient completed the Modified MINI, UNCOPE, and ASSIST, in addition to the clinical interview. She denies any mood or psychotic symptoms on the Modified MINI, and reports some symptoms of anxiety which are specific to worries about embarrassment in social situations. This is consistent with her self-report, during which she denied current mood, anxiety, and psychotic symptoms. However, she reported an increase in stress related to the paternity of babySharlize and the relationship with the probable father, Justin.Ms. AtacioClient also reports a history of trauma, including early separation from her mother due to her mother’s incarceration and subsequent deportation to Dominican Republiccountry of birth, attempted sexual assault by a stranger last year and physical altercations in the community. Nevertheless Ms. Atacioclient denies any current symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.The client denies any current suicidal ideation, any past suicide attempts or any current non-suicidal self-injury. She reports a history of passive suicidal ideation as a teenager but did not have any plan, intent or previous attempts. She also reports a history of one event in which she engaged in non-suicidal self-injury in which she scratched herself superficially with her nails. She denies any current or past homicidal ideations.Substance Use (all family members):In terms of substance use, her reports on the ASSIST (Score = 19/Cannabis) and UNCOPE (Score = 2) are consistent with her clinical interview. She reports that she smoked one blunt one month prior to giving birth. However, prior to discovering she was pregnant, when she was 4 months along, she would smoke 3 “blunts” a day. She acknowledges that smoking cannabis helps her “forget” about the stressful aspects of her life.Ms. AtacioClient reports that she began smoking cannabis at the age of 18 and steadily increased to smoking three times a day. She states that she stopped when she was four months pregnant, prior to that she was unaware of the pregnancy. She reports that she then stopped smoking for the duration of the pregnancy with the exception of one month before delivery when she was upset about the uncertainty of the baby’s paternity. She indicates that her main triggers for use were negative emotions (e.g., anger, sadness).Ms. AtacioClient completed an observed saliva toxicology on 11/1/18 (results pending). She also completed a breathalyzer on this date (BAC = .000). She also denied alcohol use and did not exhibit any symptoms of intoxication.Legal (all family members):· There are no known legal concerns for this family.Culturally Relevant Factors:· Maternal grandparents as well as Ms. Atacio’sClient’s parents are Spanish speaking.Conceptualization:Ms. AtacioClient is a domiciled twenty year old woman who was born, raised and currently resides in the BronxNew York. She was referred to UBA for FT/R – COS services following an Initial Child Safety Conference as a result of testing positive for marijuana at the birth of her daughter, Sharlize. SharlizeBaby tested negative for marijuana and all substances at birth. At present, she denies any mood or posttraumatic symptom history, however is interested in seeking mental health services. She understands that she was using marijuana as a coping mechanism and is interested in learning healthier ways of coping with life stressors. She denies current substance use but has a history of cannabis use. She denies current S/H/V/I/I/P.Ms. AtacioClient reported a significant loss when her mother was incarcerated then subsequently deported to Dominican Republiccountry of birth. Ms. AtacioClient denies any negative feelings towards her mother and reports that her maternal aunt is to blame because she introduced her mother to criminal activities. Ms. AtacioClient reported that as an adolescent she initially used cannabis socially but then began using it more frequently. She often used cannabis to numb her emotions and no longer have to think about the stress that was going on in her life at any given moment. Ms. AtacioClient may be struggling with her identity as a mother given the history of her unexpected separation from her own mother. It is likely that she has attempted to fill that emotional void via substance use and poor relationships. Nevertheless, she appears motivated to engage in services that will support her and assist her in fulfilling her role as a new mother.During the interview, Ms. AtacioClient was generally forthcoming and pleasant. She denied feeling overwhelmed by the involvement of ACS and she reported feeling grateful that Sharlize baby was not removed from her care. Throughout the interview, Ms. AtacioClient presented with blunted affect and therefore at times it was difficult to ascertain her feelings or level of understanding on particular topics, especially related to the ACS process. Given Ms. Atacio’sClient’s history, it is a possibility that she lacks a sense of agency and therefore does not provide much input into decision making processes.
