Damianne and her mother currently live together, but they have a strained relationship characterized by verbal arguments and noncompliance in the home. Damianne’s mother struggles to enforce rules and consequences, making it difficult for Damianne to thrive in this environment. This situation has led to significant mental health challenges for Damianne, including feelings of unworthiness; she has been told that she will never have a future because she is "stupid." Damianne is on the waitlist for CEDARS Independent Living and is enrolled in the CEDARS Community Youth Coaching Program. She is committed to attending every meeting with her mentor, seeking support for her mental health, and assistance with her transition to independent living. Damianne has made progress in recognizing what she can control versus what she cannot in her daily life. She has completed training in active listening, self-control, and understanding the consequences of her actions. Additionally, she has identified two contacts for support when she needs someone to listen. Currently, Damianne is working with staff on Strengths Exploration. Despite the challenges she has faced, she is dedicated to building her self-identity in a positive way that she can utilize throughout her life. Damianne enjoys movies, art, writing in her journal, listening to music, and spending time with her friends.
