support the juvenile court’s finding that she was provided reasonable services. We disagree and affirm. BACKGROUND Following a report that mother was physically and emotionally abusive to K.B., the San Joaquin County Human Services Agency (Agency) filed a petition in January 2019, alleging the then 11-year-old minor was at risk of serious physical harm or illness, and serious emotional damage, due to mother’s failure to protect her. The Agency also alleged K.B. was left with no provision for support because her father was incarcerated. On January 23, 2019, the court found K.B. came within the jurisdiction of the court, but did not remove her from mother’s custody. Following a second reported incident of abuse, the Agency asked the court at the jurisdictional hearing on February 6, 2019, to remove K.B. from mother’s custody. Over mother’s objection, the court ordered K.B. detained. The court also granted mother visitation but ordered it supervised. On February 27, 2019, the Agency amended the petition to include additional facts. The court sustained the amended petition, and granted the social worker discretion to increase mother’s supervised visits and telephone contact. In March 2019, the Agency recommended mother receive reunification services and prepared a case plan. The case plan included “parenting classes, housing referral, individual counseling to address personal accountability and functioning, narcotic dependence and effects on ability to parent, mental health issues and substance abuse issues, domestic violence and its impact on parenting/children, childhood trauma and effects on mother’s ability to safely and appropriately parent, and other issues identified by the client and/or clinician. Additionally, family counseling to address communication, trauma, and other issues identified by the client and[/]or clinician.” On April 3, 2019, the court adopted the Agency’s case plan, providing mother with reunification services. The minor’s father was bypassed for services.
