The Mansah family consists of a 42-year-old mother (Ana), her 45-year-old husband (Kweme), and their 16-year-old daughter (Sofia). The family recently emigrated from Ghana and is adjusting to life in the U.S. Ana schedules a visit with their PMHNP because Safia has been increasingly withdrawn, skipping school, and complaining of headaches and stomachaches. The school counselor suspects depression and possible anxiety.

During the appointment, Ana appears worried but expresses cultural beliefs that emotional struggles should be dealt with privately and that “children should be strong.” She fears that having a mental health diagnosis could bring shame to the family. Kweme is more open to treatment but works long hours and rarely attends appointments. Safia reports feeling overwhelmed academically and socially. She worries she will disappoint her parents. She denies suicidal ideation but endorses low mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and sleep disturbance.

The PMHNP recommends therapy, school accommodations, and discusses possibly starting an SSRI if symptoms do not improve. Ana is hesitant about medication, expressing fears about “dependency” and long-term effects. Safia is uncertain whether therapy will help.

Using the Health Promotion Model, explain how this model would guide you in meeting the health care needs and treatment planning for the Mansah family case. (Be specific about how you would address Ana’s concerns, engage Kweme and support Safia)
