Mandated Reporting with an Immigrant Family Struggling with Acculturation and Developmental Trauma [1]

NCTSN Resource

Resource Description

Introduces Enrique Sanchez, a young immigrant father who brought his seven-year-old son, Joaquin, to a new country without the rest of their family. The therapist, Dr. Chang, explains to Enrique that she has to report to the Department of Children and Families her concerns for Joaquin's safety because Enrique has been leaving Joaquin unsupervised at night. Recognizing how this is shocking and may seem like a betrayal to Enrique, Dr. Chang empathically helps him to approach this challenge as an opportunity to protect Joaquin and with confidence that they will work together to make this a beneficial experience for Enrique and his son.
