...with Mental Illness One problem that those suffering with mental illness face is the fact that the term mental illness can mean just about anything that involves the psychological or emotional struggles. Mental illness is harder to diagnose than a physical illness and comes with much more of a stigma. Those suffering with mental illness face a life full of obstacles. Many have a hard time finding or keeping a job and end up homeless. Those suffering with mental illness need a place to be treated that does not cause them more harm. Institutions are not set up for those with minor mental health issues and can cause more harm if the patient is not treated appropriately. Those with a mental illness may not be able to properly care for themselves and need and need someone to help them learn basic living skills. If they do not have a caring family member to do this they may end up living in destitute. The Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963 was put in place to offer service to those with mental illness. The plan was to cover five main goals, which consist of in-patient and out patient care, emergency care, partial hospitalization and education. Hospital emergency rooms may offer help to those with emergency mental breakdowns. Local health departments offer training and education to those with loved ones with mental illness. Most states offer in-patient and out patient mental hospitals that can help those who have nowhere else to turn due to financial...

Irving C.A.R.E.S. (Community Assistance Referral and Emergency Services) was influenced by a group of citizens in Irving who were interested in the social welfare of needy people in their community in 1957.

...What is Human Services Wendy L. Coghill BSHS/302 April 6, 2013 Instructor Jean Holtz What is Human Services According to the National Organization of Human Services, “ 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 a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations (NOHS, 2013). 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. The History of Human Services In an article on a web site called Yahoo Voices, written by Karen Krug, it says, “From the early 1900's to the present day, there has been a strong movement in the way of identifying individuals' rights and services. Organizations have been developed to assist in the care and attention of populations such as the poor, children, mentally ill, and developmentally disabled” (Krug, 2011). “These individuals were born in a constant changing world where the foremost focus is in building an adaptable and functional society. In an effort to deliver reassurance of well-being for the unemployable, be it disabled or elderly, the Social Security Administration continues to provide financial support for qualified...

...What Is Human Services? Human services refers to a variety of delivery systems such as social welfare services, education, mental health, and other forms of health care. Human Service is a very 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.

...“Marketing merely reflects the needs and wants of consumer” Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs back in 1950s and 60s. Human needs are arranged in a hierarchy from most to least pressing – physiological needs (primary or fundamental needs), safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self – actualization needs. When a person succeeds in satisfying an important need, he will then try to satisfy the next most important need. God create human with different types. In this world, there are continent, ocean, country, and city. They are different, so are we. I think we have same physiological needs because we cannot live without them. As customers, we always want quality products, which satisfy our needs and wants. Customers are looking for products and services with best combination of price, quality, and availability. As a human, we are different. There are segmentation by age, gender, nationality, lifestyle, income, and many others segmentation. If, you are female, your needs and wants are different with male. I am Indonesian, my needs and wants are different with American. I eat rice; they eat burger, pizza, and other food. This is why marketers must create and develop attractive product. Some customers would not mind to paying a higher price for a product or service if we received something with best combination of price and quality.

...Problems with Human Services Clients and the Skills to Use to Help Them Marc L. Person BSHS/305 University of Phoenix November 11, 2014 Problems with Human Services Clients and the Skills to Use to Help Them Human Services clients can face obstacles/problems of all kinds. The term client can describe a person, a family, or a group of people in a particular area or neighborhood. The Human Services “Helper” will need to develop many different skills in order to service each client within such diverse echelons. The Problem Chain Clients enter the human service delivery system as individuals with many different perspectives such as psychological, biological, cultural, financial, educational, vocational, and spiritual elements. These elements include life experiences such as family, friends, health, school, work, legal status, residence, safety and security, finances, play, well-being, and personal accomplishments. These perspectives are assimilated into the individual to create the whole person that the human service professional experiences. There are a few possible theories that are used to define the problems and difficulties that individuals face. The developmental theory approaches problems from the life span perspective that describes them as events or crisis that have happened within a lifetime. The situational perspective describes problems that have happened in one instance or timeframe. Meeting basic human needs, both physical and mental, is another method...

...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.

...wasting their time because jobs are so limited. Second, from time-to-time governmental agencies are forever changing their eligibility requirements to receive government assistance. As a result, many homeless families are denied. Third, As a result, of budgets cuts many governmental agencies are unable to help these homeless families, because there are not enough funds available to provide assistance to these families (Valek, 2012).

...XXXXXXX L33333333 Liberty University 24 April 2013 There is a need for effective biblical counseling now more than ever. As the world progresses to the stages prophesized anarchy God’s people as well as lost souls need the appropriate direction in life. Crabb clearly states in his introduction that the purpose his book, Effective Biblical Counseling, is to incorporate the principles and aspects of Christian counseling into the local churches (Crabb, 1977, p. 13). The tenets outlined in the text apply sound Biblical doctrine in conjunction with advanced psychological techniques. The intent of this paper is to enable the reader to understand that “true healing” can only be experienced through a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, but also to parallel Biblical teaching with scientifically proven methods to counsel troubled individuals effectively. Individuals seek counseling for many reasons; they may be depressed, generally not happy with their status in life, or simply need to talk to with someone. One widely practiced form of psychotherapy that focuses in the humanistic approach of treatment is Roger’s Client-Centered Therapy (RCCT) is common among clients with the above listed issues.

(Brasfield, 2013 p. 347) Safe Buy Insurance is the actual name of the company, however according to the details of the case none of the agencies up under Safe Buy carry the Safe Buy brand. It was mentioned that many of the agencies are not making the profit that they made in the previous years. It was mentioned that there are issues with the processing of paperwork. IM’s first point of business is to establish a mission statement, vision, and goal for this company. Right now, it is stated that this business is market controlled. There needs to be a standard through the agencies under Safe Buy. The company needs to know what they stand for, where they are at, and where they are going. Providing a standard, with what is expected and a goal will provide a benchmark for performance assessments .

...opening their homes to others e.g. Airbnb. This particular "new economy" is not going to go away again. On the contrary, it will achieve a much more dominant position in the years ahead. Why? Because it accommodates the fundamental human need to be part of a community, share with others, build relationships, make friends and, specifically, to entrust things to other people. Swapping and sharing was common practice long before we had paper money and modern-style companies. The shared use of resources was based on personal ties and/or geographic proximity However, new communication technologies are radically changing the playing field in a positive sense. The internet, smartphones and mobile positioning services are shrinking the entire planet to the size of a neighbourhood. Ubiquitous social media has breathed new life into a notion of community that had long seemed confined to private spaces and a distinctly modest scale. Now, online platforms and marketplaces are spawning new relationships that, in the past, would never have been conceivable without face to face contact.
