...broad term covering a number of agencies and institutions; while creating many different careers for individuals. But all have one thing in common; that is helping people to meet their basic physical and emotional needs. These are generally people who need outside assistance in meeting those needs. The human service professional works within a field of human or social services; each having a broad range of skills and a broad range of responsibility in helping people overcome a variety of social problems. The social problems happen when basic human needs are not being met. Why some people are unable to meet their basic human needs and they need human services? There are various reasons, some being: an unsupportive family, no family, no friends, unsupportive friends, no social network, and possibly no supportive neighbors. They may need an education or job skills. Human Services comes into the picture when people find themselves confronting barriers while trying to get their basic human needs met. Usually they do not have anyone or anything in their life that can assist that person. Although people who are fortunate do not need assistance in getting their needs met, human service professionals work within a field of human and or social services; each having a broad range of skills and responsibilities in helping people overcome a variety of social problems. There are two main reasons people need assistance from human services or social services. There are so many goals...

...Client Paper Client Problems The human services field is comprised of many career choices from doctors to social workers and even volunteers. Those who enter this field are called helpers and they have a goal of helping others by working with them to solve their personal problems. These problems can be numerous or few, they could be problems resulting other problems, or they could be the result of becoming a victim in unfortunate circumstances. The problems that will be outlined in this paper are as follows: Developmental, Situational, Meeting Human Needs, Societal Change, and Environmental Influences. When thinking about the range of problems clients may be dealing with their are many, one such type of problem may be developmental. Humans are constantly developing beginning from the moment they are an embryo implanted in their mother's womb to the time they take their last breath. There are many things associated with the development humans go through and many influences in their surrounding environment. Then there are normal human changes that everyone goes through, such things like puberty may be a traumatic experience for a client even though it is not traumatic for most. The best way to put this into words is " Although everyone goes through the same developmental stages, individuals experience these stages in different ways." (Woodside & McClam, 2011). Another type of problem being faced by the client may be situational. Problems that may be considered situational...

...Using ‘Person Centred’ Communication Skills and Models to Help Clients Admitted for the First Time to a Mental Health Hospital Introduction Communication is one way of exchanging information and feelings from one person to another (Bach and Grant 2009). It is transmitted through verbal and non-verbal behaviour. Communication is an essential and fundamental aspect of nursing care (Timmins 2011). It is a major and important part of daily nursing practice in the nurse-client relationship (Sheldon et al. 2006). Communication in nursing is unique and it is different from communication between healthcare providers because nurses are at the start of the healthcare service as they spend more time with the client than other healthcare professionals (McCabe and Timmins 2006). Therefore, nurses have to pay more attention to improving their communication skills for better client care. In order to establish a positive relationship with the client, it is necessary to communicate effectively and subsequently improve the quality of nursing care (McCabe and Timmins 2006). Effective communication is key to a therapeutic relationship with the client. It is defined as a ''purposeful form of communication used in the helping relationship'' (Ruesch 1961 cited in Arnold and Boggs 2007, p18). It is developed by the nurse for the purpose of assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating client care (Arnold and Boggs 2007). The establishment of a nurse-client relationship was a key element...

...Human Services Client Paper Tom Berg University of Phoenix BSHS/305 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES: AN INTRODUCTION Dr. Lowell Brubaker March 10, 2014 Abstract The Human Services Client Paper explains some of the many problems and issues that an individual may struggle with in his or her lifetime. From their ability to seek help with their most basic needs to seek help for more complex physical and mental needs. We have learned over the years that a client's needs and problems range from short term issues to longer term issues and being able to solve the most immediate ones first will allow the professional the ability to recognize and help solve the underlying long term issues. As Maslow’s hierarchy of needs shows us the complex structure of one’s needs, it also gives us an example of how to understand the need to satisfy those needs and to help the person achieve self-actualization. The professional must possess certain skills and qualities as they are essential to a well-balanced helping process. These skills range from effective communication with the ability to walk a few feet in someone else’s shoes. Human Services Client Paper According to the National Organization for Human Services (nationalhumanservices.org), the field of 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...

...Helpers in the human service field are tasked with helping unique individuals with unique problems. It is important that a helper be able to identify the types of problems that a client can experience. Understanding which type or types of problems a client is facing will aid the helper in providing assistance to the client. It is necessary for a helper to possess effective communication skills which will foster a strong helper client environment. The first of the five problems facing human service clients is, developmental. "...experts in developmental psychology suggest that human development is a continuous process and that there are certain phases and stages that individuals experience during the life span (Trotter & Startwood, 2007)." This means that if for some reason a child missies one of these milestones of development, certain issues could arise in adulthood. An example that most are familiar with, is the connection between crawling, speech, and fine motor skills. The act of crawling, and exploring the world from this perspective is important to the childes development. Another example is socializing a child. When a child is raised strictly within the house hold with no contact with other children, there is a lack of development in the child's social skills. A deficit in these skills could hinder the child as an adult in interacting with other children. The second problem facing human service clients is, situational. Situational problems are the result...

...I will be stating the various problems that are possibly facing human services clients and how the specific helping skills can be used with clients. There are a variety of issues a human service professional faces with their clients. Client problems are rarely limited to just one, single issue. One problem alone can lead to other problems and the human service helper should always keep this in mind so that specific helping skills cam be implemented to serve the clients' needs. These issues can range from substance abuse, mental and physical illness, grief, disabilities, caring for children and families, domestic violence, and many other issues. All these issues are multi- faceted and can be very difficult to help with.( R. Woodside & T. McClam,2011) Assisting with client's problems requires gaining the trust of the client. This is important for gathering information so the helper can give the best and most effective help they can.(R. Woodside & T. McClam, 2011) to do this, a human service professional uses helping skills to assist their clients. Basic skills are verbal and non-verbal communication, and listening and responding. Correctly using these skills they can help form an easy flow of helpful information and an effective helping relationship with the client. These are the foundations to the human service professional and client relationship. Problems No one person has just one problem, and there are plenty of clients to go around ( Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011)...

...be a nurse. The idea of helping people or saving someone’s life every day sounds like the perfect job for me, but I realize that with reward comes responsibility. If I make a mistake on the job, I can’t just restart or erase the problem. Someone dies. This is why it is essential that someone going into this field is passionate about their patients and the work they do. Although nurses have a stressful job, the FOCUS assessments have made me realize just how well my personality fits with a career as a Registered Nurse. The primary job responsibility of a Registered Nurse is caring for patients. Nurses are required to assess and record a patients’ signs and symptoms, work with medical staff to come to a diagnosis, and then treat the patient. These tasks require nurses to possess effective communication and problem solving skills. Most importantly, these health care professionals need to be able to make quick and logical decisions. The cons of the job are the long work hours, risk of...

...handle them differently. Human service professionals are there to help clients navigate through those problems, by using skills and resources at their disposals. These problems range from once in a lifetime changing event like a car accident which causes physical and cognitive disabilities. Some individuals are plagued with addictions to substance like illicit and prescription drugs and alcohol. Families that receive services deal with some of the problems that were previously mention but the affects causes strain on the family unit. They also deal with conflicts amongst them because of personality differences. When it comes to problems in a group dynamic these problems can include cultural differences. Mental health issues is an issue that affects the individual, the family and group dynamics. Human Service Professionals are taught that the first step to helping a client is finding out what the problems are. There are four ways the professional can evaluate the client’s problems. 1) Developmental problems are defined as something that has happen over one’s life. 2) Situational problems are when the client has been put in a situation that has cause a problem in their life. Examples of situational problems are: Accidents or divorce or any major changes in life. 3) Hierarchical needs are when the client is having a problem meeting their basic needs. Basic needs being food, shelter and medical care. . 4) Societal change would describe a client that has been taking out of their...

...it is social work, counseling, psychology, etc., the goal in these fields is to help those people who come to a professional in need. Helping them turn in the right direction to improve their lives and those around them. We all have basic needs. Some people are not able to meet those basic needs by themselves, so they need the help of someone in human services. Human service professionals help people by removing any barriers with that person’s life that could keep him or her from meeting their needs. Supporting them and the community, and helping them function at the highest ability they can is also another goal to help achieve happiness and their needs. The human services field was not always this way when it first started. The human services profession has been around since the 1800’s, starting with the feudal system in England’s Middle Ages. England helped influence the system for social welfare here in the United States. The wealthy landowners would give small parcels of land out to the under privileged people or peasants, as they called them back then. They thought this would keep poverty down, but it was also a form of slavery because of the background these under privileged people came from. Toward the middle of the fourteenth century the feudal system began fading out of England’s environment. The church began stepping in helping with poverty giving out charity to those in need. This in turn began the change in the social welfare policy in England, bringing about...

...difficulties. It is difficult to predict what a person will experience as a problem; it can be a situational problem, occurs because the person is in a particular place at a particular time. Other reasons can be due to lack of resource, skills or both, economic inequality, poverty, and social problems. Also, human services clients can have a large range of family problems that can lead to more difficult problems. The problems that human service clients face are normally multiple. One issue could lead to another resulting in various problems. Economic inequality is linked to health and social problems. Inequality places people in a social chain of command which grows a need for competition causes stress, leading to poor health and social effects. (http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/tackling-inequality-and-poverty/). Unemployment and poor wages are contributors to economic equality, for the most part due to lack of skills or education. Growth in technology renders joblessness at all skills level. . Having low to zero income contributes to poor or no health care and poverty. Poverty is a result of economic inequality. The United States Census Bureau defines poverty as an "economic condition in which people lack sufficient income to obtain basic needs for food, housing, clothing, health services and education." It is a standard of living below the minimum needed for maintaining adequate food, health and shelter Some reasons that contribute to this social problem are ignorance...

...1960s, there were dramatic changes in the area of helping those in need. Populations like the poor, the unemployed, children in need, the elderly, the disabled, the substance abuser and others began to be recognized as needing social and rehabilitation services. About this time, new legislation mandated that those formerly served in state mental hospitals would now be deinstitutionalized and would henceforth be seen in the communities in which they lived. It was not long before it became obvious that the traditional human resources would not meet the needs of the helping services being offered. The community based mental health system necessitated that professionals be trained in a different manner. While the provision of mental health services was undergoing these changes, the civil rights movement brought attention to social justice and equity issues. Consumers of social services became more involved in advocating for themselves and in creating services that would meet their own needs. Thus "grass roots" (started by the clients) level activism created opportunities for new approaches to human services. Amidst all these changes, a new class of workers was born. Originally called paraprofessionals, these workers were often those who had been served by the helping system and had a better sense of the qualities and skills that were important for helpers to possess. Thus, what had begun as an informal orientation to helping would soon become formalized as competency based mental...

...TAKS: Helping or Hindering Everyone in Texas knows that it is a state law for students in grades 3 - 11 be required to take an end of the school year test known as the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). However, many Texas citizens are against this law because of circumstances having to do with their own children. Ask a Mom or teacher what they think of the TAKS test and you will hear an array of things that are wrong about this test (Hate 2009). The student’s grades during the school year should determine whether a student is promoted to the next grade not because the student did not pass their correct level TAKS test. Under current Texas Educational Law, students must take and pass four exit-level tests in order to receive a diploma, this is not considered right to many parents with students in school (Chapter 2008). Parents consider this wrong because they believe that completing twelve to thirteen years of education, just to take one test and missing just one question on that test determine whether they graduate. This is depriving them of something they have very well earned. If the skills required for these tests were just basic skills, or relevant skills for that matter, I would have no problem with the law that Texas endorses. However, these tests are tough. These tests require that students know such things as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, Geometry and Social Studies, meaning that students in their junior year in high school must recall...

The mediation methods takes place when two different parts meet to addressee their problems, where the mediator comes in as the third party and assist individuals with communication in order to gain resolutions to their problems. Medication can also be an agreement developed after a disagreement. Mediation involves reflection that results in resolutions that may possibly or might not be acknowledged by the opposing party. It can also be described as a method of resolution of an industrial disagreement, in which a third party discuss with individuals involved and finds a result, which is not, conversely, binding on the parties involved.

Mediation referees to the practice of having a third person involved in this case may be a manager or supervisor in any form, it can be utilized to operate as a vacillator in assisting parties in a disagreement to come to a mutual accepting in which they may be capable taking and living with (Cousins & Benitz, 1999).

...Today's Client in Human Services Patricia Castillo BSHS/305 Sept 1, 2014 Kimberly Tarshis Today's Client in Human Services In this paper, I will be describing the range of problems facing human services individuals and also discussing the helping skills used with these individuals. Problems can be looked at in many different ways. Thinking about problems is one way to understand the concept of “problems in living.” The problem is described as a situation, event, or condition that is bothersome for the client. (Woodside & McClam, 2012) An important factor to consider when identifying problems and resolving them is how difficult it is to predict how an individual will experience a problem. What must be kept in mind are factors, such as, culture, values of the society and developmental needs of the individual. All of this will influence how problems are defined. The developmental perspective is one way of identifying problems with individuals. This theory looks at problems through the span of an individual’s lifetime. The development begins at the point of conception and ends at the time of death. During the time between these two points, the individual experiences systemic changes. (Woodside & McClam, 2012) Stage theories, such as those proposed by Erik Erikson contend that the development progresses through maturational determined stages. Each stage in Erikson's theory is concerned with becoming competent in the area of life. If the stage is handled well, the...
