Substance uses.
You are a drug and alcohol counsellor employed by YSAS (Youth Substance Abuse Service). Amy is your 14-year-old client. She was born in Australia, and she is the daughter of Chinese parents. Amy's father died when she was three years old, and she lives at home with her mother who suffers from a mental illness. Amy has been smoking marijuana every day for at least the past year. Her Student Welfare Coordinator referred her to YSAS for counselling because Amy was coming to school marijuana affected most days. Amy is also very isolated at school. She has low self-esteem, poor social skills and poor hygiene. Amy meets with you for her regular Wednesday counselling session. You have encouraged Amy to work toward reducing her marijuana use and she has agreed to do this. You talk to Amy about how she is going.
