Helping professionals engaging in cross-cultural immersion experiences, especially in high-trauma ecologies, are at greater risk for compassion fatigue and other associated problems. Compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma are all stress-related conditions common among caregivers (e.g. professional counselors, medical personnel, first responders) engaging with highly traumatized human populations. Current research identifies specific risk factors salient to such conditions, including: inexperience, overwork, high caseloads, isolation, lack of support and supervision, lack of training, lack of role clarity, marital status, and personal history of unresolved trauma, severity of client problems, time limitations, inadequate resources, and emotional demands of the work as significant risk factors for burnout. Additionally, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other allied professionals engage in helping roles that commonly intersect with trauma, which often result in the minimization of their own emotional responses.
