Solved by verified expert:CASE SCENARIOFAMILY
Julio (age 33) and Quianna Riverez (age 30) live in Chicago, Illinois with their five children, ages one, three, four, seven, and 15. Both parents dropped out of high
school when Quianna became pregnant with their oldest child, Rico. Initially they lived with Quianna’s parents, later getting an apartment in the Englewood area
of the city, where they still currently reside. Right after they moved into their own residence, they were relieved to be on their own, in part due to the chronic
conflict between Julio and Quianna’s parents that continues to this day. A few weeks after moving to Englewood, they realized that the violence the
neighborhood was known for would make an indelible mark on each of their lives. Julio was shot in the chest when rival gang members fought for turf in front of
the family’s apartment. Although he survived, he was left with lingering health issues resulting from extensive scar tissue in his lungs. For her part, Quianna
continues to struggle with the emotional impact of Julio’s shooting. Both parents have seen plenty of violence in the vicinity of their home, yet they feel trapped
since there is no money for daily necessities, much less relocation. Their feelings of helplessness and fear have intensified since a shoot-out last week left three
dead, including a one-year-old infant in a stroller. The incident played out in front of the entire family as they were getting off a city bus. The family narrowly
missed being hit by gunfire themselves and had to spend several hours on the scene being interviewed by the police.
Julio’s family moved away from Chicago shortly after Rico’s birth. They have returned to the Miami, Florida area since it allows them to see the extended family
that immigrated to Miami from Cuba. They are estranged from Julio and Quianna because of the couple’s choice to not marry and their lack of participation in the
Catholic Church. Quianna’s family does continue to live in Chicago. Although they are accepting of the couple’s decision to not marry, they resent the fact that the
couple does not make an effort to attend family gatherings, and they wish that Quianna had married an African American man to maintain the family’s ethnic and
cultural heritage. Julio has great trouble being around Quianna’s family because he thinks they are controlling and they always share unrequested advice that he
does not wish to follow. For these reasons and others, the couple receives no social or financial support from either side of the family.
Julio currently works two part-time jobs; one is at a local diner where he is a cook, and the other is at a factory, where he works third shift as a maintenance
person. Quianna has always stayed home to raise the children. The couple’s finances are not adequate to pay for the necessities of life such as groceries, housing,
and utilities. In fact, their utilities were shut off at the beginning of April due to nonpayment. It is becoming increasingly frequent that Julio must walk to and
from work due to the family’s inability to pay the fees for public transportation. A major stressor for the couple is that Julio’s original language is Spanish and he
continues to struggle to communicate in English. When the couple experiences conflict, Julio often shuts down or leaves the residence due to his challenges in
expressing his thoughts and feelings. All of the couple’s children speak English exclusively and Julio feels that this limits his authority as a father.
Quianna reports that she is tired all the time and that she is left alone to deal with the children on her own. She reports that she has been particularly fatigued
since the birth of her youngest child, Cedric. Adding to her fatigue is her difficulty in sleeping that she attributes to nightmares related to Julio’s shooting years
ago, which has been compounded by the recent violence the family witnessed. According to her, all of the children are unruly and she reports not having the
energy to deal with them anymore. Quianna holds fond memories of her own childhood when she was intimately connected to and supported by her family. She
reminisces about their family gatherings and church-related activities. She wishes that she could provide a similar childhood for her children. She states that she
is very concerned about Rico, who has had several run-ins with the law because he repeatedly violates curfew and the police suspect that he is affiliated with a
local gang. Rico is often truant and is at high risk for being held back this year. For his part, Rico sees no value in completing high school. He thinks that trying to
complete high school is futile and imagines that he will follow in his parents’ footsteps and drop out of school eventuallyCOMMUNITYThe Englewood neighborhood of Chicago is located on the city’s south side, approximately seven miles south of the Loop. While most of its residents are African
American, there has been an influx of diverse groups. At its height, Englewood had nearly 100,000 residents, but in the past decade or so the population has
significantly declined, leaving just over 30,000 residents.
The area is plagued by violence, poverty, and unemployment. Numerous gangs operate in the neighborhood. Even those who resist the pressure to affiliate with
gangs are at an increased risk of violence. If gang members reside on a block, there exists an assumption among rival gang members that all others who reside on
the block are in some way connected to the gang who operates in the area. There have been more than 17 murders in the past year in Englewood, along with
countless other shootings, rapes, acts of gang violence, and other types of violence.
Despite the negative conditions that exist in the community, there are many residents who have formally organized to address the issues that leave the residents
at risk. An example of the community outreach efforts is the online Englewood Portal. On this website, community members can find helpful organizations
including social services, block clubs, and faith-based organizations, as well as community resources and employment opportunities. Another Chicago-based
organization, CeaseFire Illinois—a Cure Violence organization—has an increasing presence in Englewood.**PLEASE FOLLOW ATTATCHED GUIDLINES. ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED******

HSE 310 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: As a human services practitioner, you could be in a position where you will be required to address the identified needs of families, communities, or
both. In such cases, you will need to assess the use of potential intervention models, develop strategies for addressing needs, and possibly assess the available
appropriate resources to assist these families in negotiating the complex system of organizations in their communities. In doing so, you will be exposed to many
situations that involve trauma, and thus prepare yourself by composing a self-care plan to ensure a lengthy career.
The summative assessment for this course will require you to analyze a case scenario using family and community systems assessment models (i.e., sociograms,
culturegrams, ecomaps, genograms, etc.). After analyzing the case, you will use the data derived to design family and community interventions, being sure to
justify the use for all parties involved. Finally, you will be required to create a brief reflection that will examine the potential personal and professional impact that
situations (such as the one presented in the case scenario) may have on you as a practitioner. In addition, you will briefly identify your emerging self-care plan.
The overall objective of this assessment is to allow you to demonstrate your practice competencies and your enduring understanding of how family and
community systems operate and change. Predicated on the systems’ foundational principle that when one thing in a system changes, the entire system changes,
your completion of this assessment will allow you to craft a plan to create change that benefits the family and community in a dynamic way. Moreover, it will to
allow you to reflect on and plan how to best maintain your wellness as you embark on your career in human services.
Prompt: Submit a one-page draft of the Section I: Introduction to Case Scenario Part A (see critical elements below). Note that you will be completing Part B of
this critical element as part of your final project, which is due in Module Seven. You will provide a brief overall assessment of the case scenario provided in the
Final Project Document. The assessment must be based on your interpretation of the scenario provided, and identify the family and community system factors
that are driving the negative issues in the scenario.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction to Case Scenario
A. Provide a brief overall assessment of the case scenario, ensuring the following questions are answered:
1. What family and community system factors are driving the negative issues in the scenario?
2. What strengths are apparent in the family and community that can provide leverage to overcome the issues?
3. What small groups are present in the community that may help to facilitate change?
4. What advocacy efforts are being used at the community level?
Guidelines for Submission: Your introduction to the case scenario must be submitted as a one-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point
Times New Roman font, one-inch margins.
Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more information,
review these instructions.
