Case Study: “Tabatha

Case Study: “Tabatha ”“Good morning, team. I was on-call this past weekend, on Sunday, I met with Tabatha, who was recently added to my caseload within the past three weeks. Biologically, Tabatha is a male; however, she identifies as female and is 19 years of age. On Saturday night, Tabatha was transported to City Hospital after being attacked by two unknown assailants, in which the police believe that the attack was a hate crime due to Tabatha being transgender. When Tabatha chose to live her life as a woman permanently 3 months ago, her parents kicked her out of their home and told her that she could return when she changes. Broke and homeless, Tabatha has made economic/financial decisions that could have caused her to be arrested; however, this has not happened as of date.

Tabatha is concerned about her sexual health because she is considering prostitution as the only outlet for earning money. Tabatha states that socially she feels awkward. Even when amongst other transgender persons and questions whether she may or may not be going through a phase. So, meeting with Tabatha has presented several challenges. But I spoke with her about the validity of her experiences as a transgender woman and that I would be working with her on prioritizing and addressing the challenges once released from the hospital. “Milton is a Human Services Professional with Helping Communities Grow, LLC.
