The client, Clarita, is a 32-year-old Latinx woman. She is the oldest of five children and was raised in a predominantly Latinx neighborhood in Puerto Rico. She attended Catholic schools, and her religion is a very significant part of her life. She is a single parent raising two children, a 6-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter. She is bilingual, graduated from college with honors, has a degree in education, and for the past 4 years has taught middle school math and science. She and her husband of 5 years divorced 3 years ago. Recently, Clarita was forced to move from Puerto Rico to Florida as a result of a Category 5 hurricane, which devastated the island. Although she jokes about being a “climate refugee,” she believes it is true and is not sure whether she will be able to move back home anytime soon. She receives no financial assistance from her ex-husband, and the only knowledge the children have of their father is through communication with their paternal grandparents.
