A Career In Human Services

Working in the social services field was always my dream. Whether working with children, family, adults, elderly etc. this career path is so broad it instills the hope of a career opportunity. My first year working in this field was in 2010 when I interned as an intake specialist in an outpatient drug treatment facility, while completing my bachelor’s degree in human services. Thereafter, I was able to branch off in various areas such as a case manager at a domestic violence shelter, housing specialist, substance abuse counselor and now a family services specialist.

While undertaking undergraduate studies I developed a special interest in children’s human rights and child care and protection within state care. Through my work with children living in a state run home, I found the niche where I now need to better equip myself academically in order to serve this group in the way and on the level I would like. My career goal is to work with children who are wards of the state, especially those with a history of behavioral and emotional problems. I am most interested in

I chose social working as my career because many other people go through tough situations and have a difficult time talking to relatives or friends to help them through a tough situation. I thought of becoming a social worker so I can have the ability to change the lives of others. Social work is one of those careers you can truly make a difference in people’s lives. I want to become a social worker because life isn’t about just helping yourself it’s about helping others as well, which is what social workers do for a living. Child and family social workers protect children and families in need of assistance. Many families and children don’t feel comfortable talking to just anyone about obstacles they have faced in their lives which is why

The career in which I am pursuing is Human Service Bachelor Degree, the reason why I am pursuing this career is because of the passion I have for helping people reach their full potential when crossing my path.

I will like a degree where I can move around throughout my community. According to the national human service.org the social and economic characteristic human service is a professionally

In this paper, I will be discussing both the juvenile and the adult justice systems. There are several differences between the two systems, which may surprise you.

These include Terminology, Due Process rights, the process of Arrest to Corrections, Juvenile crime compared to Adult crime, age limits and waivers for the adult system and the different community correctional options, which are available to the offenders. The two systems share many of the same terms but not all terms are shared by both systems. In summary, the juvenile justice system and the adult justice system, vary in many ways and are alike in many ways.

There are many jobs with in the human service profession. The Human Service field is wide open with opportunities and various areas of employment. Our text, An Introduction to Human Services, Woodside & McClam explain, the helper is an individual who assists others. This very broad definition includes professional helpers with extensive training, such as psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as those who have little or no training, such as volunteers and other nonprofessional helpers (2015).

Human Services is a career that serves and helps the people from the community in time of crisis. Human Services helpers are designed to help people through crisis or chronic situations where the person feels they need help and guidance to move forward with their life and rediscover their personal power.

Majoring in Human Services/Social Work has always been a dream of mine. I have always wanted to help people who are in need. Life can definitely be rough, and can throw anything at any time, even when you aren’t expecting it. Whether it be financial problems, emotional problems, or mental problems, life can begin to take a toll on people. In particular, I am leaning towards working with children or adults who have mental health issues or have problems with substance abuse. With the possibility of possibly helping people who come from broken families or homes.

For awhile now I have felt the call to serve children in a unique way. The more I prayed about God’s calling the more he directed me to the criminal justice field. As I did my research I came to realize that the juvenile justice system was where God wanted me. As a freshman in college I decided to pursue a degree in criminal justice. However, this evolved into a double major in criminal justice and psychology. I have chosen to make this calling my profession. There are many ways I hope to impact the lives of juveniles, as well as the system itself. Due to the tough on crime era, some children are been transferred into the adult court one non–homicidal cases. Some have been tried as an adult for drug offense. I firmly believe this jeopardizes

Working in Education and Human Service careers means that we will be working with other people, some who might end up seeming rude. I agree with what the doctor said, I cannot assume someone is trying to be rude. As a teacher, I cannot take rude students or parents personally. I especially cannot react like the receptionist Ericka who was crying. I have to remain calm, even when I feel like someone is trying to be hostile or rude. The same situation might happen between future students of mine. Misunderstandings can easily occur between students that are in elementary school. A student might become upset because they believe a classmate was being rude, but the classmate might not have even been trying to come across as rude.

As I started to read the required material for the first week in the book. It stated that if you are looking to make a lot of money human services is not the career of choice. I started to think, people who make six figure are not happy because they decided on a career basic on the salary. In life it is all about happiness, don’t get me mislead money plays a big part in everything. But happiness is the key living a long life, choosing a career because of money simply will make a people not love their career. Human services are my choice for a career because money wasn’t my primary focus, helping people in tough times was my concentration. Everyone needs help in their lives and I decided that a career human services, will always be about

I am honored to apply to the Indiana State University Master of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice program. The success of past and present graduate students in the program is admirable, and I would love to be a part of the great success. I have studied criminal justice for approximately four years and will graduate from Indiana State University in the spring of 2017 with my bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I graduated from Vincennes University in December 2015 with my associate’s of science in law enforcement. I have desired a career in the criminal justice field for many years. I was extremely excited when I learned that I would be able to concentrate my studies in corrections at Indiana State University. After I achieve my master’s degree, I will pursue a career in Probation. I am highly passionate about making a difference and I believe that community-based correctional work is a great way to make a difference. I desire to work with juveniles because I have patience and am extremely attentive to the needs of others. The children of this great country are our future, and I would want nothing more than to apply my education from Indiana State University to help them.

Starting from being a certified nursing assistant, to becoming a unit secretary for a hospital that specialize in wound care, I have always known that I wanted to help individuals in need. However, I noticed that I was not happy with helping individuals in medical need. It wasn’t until I decided to continue my education that I introduced to the world of social work. Going up with a single mother that suffered from drug abuse, my family depended on social services for a lot of assistance, from everything such as food stamps to family counseling. This life experience helped guide my thoughts on pursuing social work as a career. I know that I want to help individuals that are down on their luck, but I want to take it one step farther, by providing individual counseling to adults that may need more one on one time, than what is normally given from a social service agency. Counseling will also give me a chance to do what I love most and that is to talk and get to know the individuals that I am helping make like changing decisions. Working as a clinical social work has my interest because it does not put limits on what I can do or who I can help, and it will set me up for my future goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker. Being my own boss and changing my community is my dream job, opportunity and goal. I am currently on my way with changing my community and living my dream, because I am currently working for a non-profit
