The And Substance Abuse By Paula Dominguez - 1324 Words

Introduction Paula Dominguez is a 45-year-old bilingual Hispanic female. She is a single mother of three, but all of her kids where removed from her care due to general neglect and no provision of support. She has a history with addiction, which led to a past incarceration, but is currently in treatment for her alcohol and substance abuse. She currently only has supervised visits with her eldest son, Alex, but is requesting unsupervised visits and reunification services for him. Alex is 16 has a PPLA and is currently in a group home. He was molested by his stepdad when he was 10, which subsequently led to Alex later molesting his younger brother, Jesus. Jesus is 9 and is currently living with his younger brother Seth, who is 7 years old, and their grandmother, Carmen Rodriguez, in Legal Guardianship. Carmen was considering adopting both of the younger boys, but has recently changed her mind due to her inability to handle the boy’s escalating behavioral problems. There are many factors which are contributing to the family’s need for intervention services, such as mental and behavioral health diagnosis, substance abuse, and a history of abuse and neglect. Alternatively, there are many strengths and protective factors this family possesses, such as a desire to remain unified as a family, active participation in individual and family counseling, and involvement in extracurricular activities, that the family can use to mitigate existing problems.
