The service user I chose to assess is a 17-year-old Hispanic male whose modified name is Ricardo Sanchez. I provided casework services to Ricardo for two years in my previous role as a Therapeutic Caseworker at my current workplace, the Children’s Village, a foster care agency. Ricardo was placed in foster care after he was removed from his father’s care due to verbal and physical abuse. Ricardo’s father assumed his custody after Ricardo’s mother passed over a drug overdose when he was 15. This was Ricardo’s second time in foster care. Ricardo’s first foster care experience happened when he was 10 years-old as a result of alleged physical abuse by his mother, who at the time had full custody of Ricardo. The report was made by Ricardo’s third grade teacher after noticing bruises on Ricardo’s arms. At the time, Ricardo was only in foster care for two months as

Case was already enhanced to an IRT (IRTA# 64625) by IRTC, Dolores Young-Kuczinski, on 3/21/17.
