Family Health Assessment
Family Overview
The Lial Family is composed of three individuals. Christy, the mother, is 38 years old, and she has twin daughters, Imani and Nia, who are both currently eight years old. They live alone together in an apartment in Mexico, while the girl's father, Dean, lives in New York. Dean is actively involved in their lives, providing monthly financial support and often communicates with his daughters, but does not maintain a primary relationship with Christy. Dean is married and he and his wife have a newborn son. Christy and Dean maintain an amicable relationship and communicate openly about the girl's needs. Grandparents on both sides are involved with the family and the girls have regular visits with all parties, despite the fact that they currently live in Mexico and their relatives are in Toronto and Trinidad. The family is very spread out, but the daughters report positive connections with all of their relatives.
Imani and Nia attend school daily and are enrolled in a variety of fitness and academic activities. Their mother, Christy, works in a local company doing internet related work, and her job is flexible enough to meet the needs of her daughters.
The family has some financial stressors, as the local economy has suffered, and at times Christy is not paid on deadline. They meet all of their physical and material needs and enjoy basic activities such as going to parks, having play dates, eating in restaurants, and purchasing new toys or games. Overall they live a fairly spartan lifestyle in a very basic apartment, but all of their needs are met, and none of them displays any serious distress...
