The Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery Not forcing interning to institution setting.

It is a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you as well. I agree with your reply from my above statement with your statement “I have found the principles to be so important, not only to my work life, but also to my daily life.” While working in this field has continued to show me that having principles when working with individuals is important to maintain their wellness and recovery and to ensure that providers in any human services field are helping with daily activities either with family, school,or work to be conveyed in a way that supports an individual’s needs and goals. From the viewpoint of the individual to improve and maintain their faith, understanding of their abilities and disabilities, enjoyment of an active
In this discussion, I will first provide a description of two evidence-based research articles. I will explain how each article relates to professional collaboration. Secondly, I will compare the extent in which the research articles apply to the professional’s collaboration of human services professionals in my area of interest.

Standard- a fee for service plan that offers a lot of flexibility but you may have to pay at the time for service and then file to get reimbursement.

The Medical Model regards disability as an individual problem. It promotes a traditional view of disability, that it is something to be ‘cured’, even though many conditions have no cure. The problem is seen as the disabled person and their impairment, not society, and the solution is seen as adapting the disabled person to fit the non-disabled world, often through medical intervention. Control resides firmly with professionals; choices for the individual are limited to the options provided and approved by the 'helping' expert.
Clients are rarely dealing with just one issue at a time. Individuals, groups, and communities are facing a wide range of problems. These problems could range from housing needs, food, mental illness, drug abuse, or family issues, which may be difficult to deal with on just one level. Those individuals or groups and the problems they are facing are the reason why professional Human Service Helpers are needed in the world. In this paper, I will be discussing some of the problems the clients face and what helping skills human service workers use to assist the client with dealing with those
My treatment plan for Griselda was designed to help her achieve self-awareness and self-acceptance. Hopefully by using these tools coupled with a support group she will
The range of problems facing human service clients is multi-faceted. No one person has just one problem, and there are plenty of clients to go around (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011). I believe this point is well articulated by Neil Headman, assistant professor of human services at the University of Illinois at Springfield (2011), who stated “It does not matter who your client is, everyone needs help” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011).
An opposing questioned introduced is dealing with PWD is what are some common misconceptions of people with psychiatric disability? What are some strategies or methods that can be considered to help enhance more positive attitudes towards people with disabilities? Consider the history of treatment and the Era of Disability Rights. Explain. Some common misconceptions of people with psychiatric disabilities are that the people with disability are not as capable to take on certain tasks that those without disabilities are able to take on. Some people feel like PWD get in the way and are dead weight which I believe is false. As stated in the book early immigration literature and the apparent attitudes and treatment toward PWDs, as well as certain other immigrant populations, were blatantly prejudiced and discriminatory. The anti-disability sentiment became more evident with immigration restriction, which began as early as the development of the first North American settlements. It was after 1838, when a large influx of immigrants came to the United States, that the issue of disability became more pressing to the early American settlers. With the 1891 revised Immigration Act, a key
More and more people will need care in old age, and if they are disabled. Millions of Americans suffer from a chronic illness, or some kind of disability, and many of these people will have limits in their daily activities. Some people experience
This is a social service program because the program design is individualizing program participants and focusing on their specific distinctive challenges. This program is a good fit for what the social problem requires because it provides individuals with disabilities access to all local community resources. The addressing of multiple challenges helps this population overcome many barriers. The target efficiently of this program focuses on people with disabilities and their families/caregivers. This program is cost-effective because it charges a nominal fee and it relies on volunteers and staff members to provide transportation for the program participants. However, this program is provided through a non-profit agency and funding sources could
The evaluation tools discussed above both have advantages and disadvantages, especially when assessing the progression of a healthcare marketing campaign. The first tool was a survey, which has several advantages, such as, easy to administer, developed in a short amount of time, administered through online, mobile devices, mail, email, phone, conducted remotely, capable of collecting data from a large population, and a broad range of data can be collected. Therefore, surveys have a substantial amount of advantages when used to assess progression in marketing. On the other hand, surveys also have disadvantages that could affect the assessment. Some disadvantages include the civilians may not feel comfortable providing accurate and honest answers,
In the Modern Ages, there were Almshouses that opened in New York because people started noticing that there were folks in their society that had a “problem” or disability. Although it was positive that people recognized those with disabilities, they also created these Almshouses to separate those individuals from the community because un-disabled people believed that disabled people did not deserve to be in a “normal” community (Thorn et al 895). Eventually, by the 1900’s, the concept of disability was well understood and researchers started to analyze the situation in more depth. Researchers are working to understand the benefits of early intervention services, risk factors, and changes in acceptance and awareness of the condition
Another House of Representative committee I will be serving in is the committee of human services. Texas is one of the State that offer less social medical health coverage. Because I have been campaigning on social health coverage for my constituency, be part of this committee will help me achieve this goal for my voters. The first function of this committee is to ensure the best operation of the welfare and rehabilitation programs as well as their development and their administration. It also oversees the health and human services commission when their matter is related to the rehabilitation programs. Overseeing the intellectual disabilities and the development of programs is also part of their responsibilities. In addition, this committee intervenes in prevention and treatment of intellectual disabilities. The Department of family and protective services, the department of aging and disability services, the Texas board of social worker examiners, and the Texas board of examiners of professional counselors are agencies that the committee of human services are in charge to overview. This committee is substantive due to their responsibility in health.
