There are several aspects of the Riverez case scenario that could create potential for
compassion fatigue. One aspect of their case would be the shooting that Julio endured due to
gang violence in his neighborhood. Julio being shot in the chest is a very traumatic event in the
Riverez family’s lives. Helping Julio get connected to regular health treatment and Quianna and
the children into therapy or counseling to help them heal from the trauma has the potential to
create compassion fatigue for me as the human service practitioner helping with services for the
case. The violence in their neighborhood could also create compassion fatigue for the
practitioner, and even seem overwhelming.
The situation with Rico has a great potential for compassion fatigue for me because I
have a son that went through some of the same things when it comes to truancy from school and
behavior. It would be important for me to practice ethics and procedure so that my potential
feelings and possible bias from my own personal experiences with my son affect my helping the
Riverez family. I think that I should continue to have sessions with my counselor to be able to
express my feelings and to keep my personal bias in check when handling the Riverez family’s
case scenario.
The aspects of my results that I believe are the most important is to engage my
intelligence in a new area like going to an art or history museum in my local community. Another
aspect of importance in my results that I feel is important is to get back to journaling. It can also
be beneficial to journal to get out my feelings and thoughts.
I plan to adopt some self-care actions of going to the art museum in my community. I am
also going to utilize journaling again. These are very assessable and acceptable tools that can
help with compassion fatigue and provide self-care when helping the Riverez family.
