Asmina has been careful with disclosing her household situation as she stated that she ‘wants to be loyal to her family’. Asmina has expressed to Dr. Harrington feelings of disinterest towards Akoi and was ‘tearful’. She and her children also live in ‘constant fear’ of Filmon’s rages, and Filmon’s negative put downs and blame towards Asmina has affected her self-esteem as she commented that he was ‘right’. However, Asmina is beginning to question her situation if it is ‘fair’ that she and her children are experiencing this fear.
The Agency’s Definition of the Problem:
As Perinatal Social Worker at the Northern Health Hospital, I am concerned with Asmina’s bond and relationship with her newborn child.
