Description:

This course provides new students with an introduction to the historical perspective of the human services movement. Students are introduced to the roles of Human Service Professional (HSP) in a variety of helping systems where they assist a wide array of clients in need. Human Services models are extensively covered in conjunction with other closely associated helping models. An introduction to the primary method of treatment used by HSP is applied to the individual client, their family system, and community so as to show the challenges to teaching effective problem solving skills and wellness. Emphasis is also placed on how HSPs work within different social and helping networks while learning the importance of their professional and ethical obligations set out by the National Organization of Human Services. Students will be required to participate in class field trips and begin the first phase of their independent fieldwork which will require 20 hours of field experience outside of lecture.
