...Client Paper Amanda Ramon BSHS/305 February 11, 2013 Karen Miner Client Paper Human Services mean many things to many different people. If you break the wording down then it is explained by the serving or being a servant of humans or the human race. It is important for us to always remember that being a servant or serving someone is a very honorable career to dedicate your life to. Serving others in many religious doctrines is an honor and these people are praised for being servants to others, service minded people are not normally selfish and they commonly have wonderful characteristics that make them especially good at human services. Clients on the other hand are in need of the servant or service that people in human services provide. They both go hand in hand for the simple reason if you didn’t one you wouldn’t have the other. Service people need people to provide services too and clients need service people to provide them the services, each role has responsibilities and also has issues that come along with being in the role that you have chosen. There is a large range of problems that face clients in this evolving world of issues that seem to be growing larger and more complex as we evolve into the technological world. The illustration I like to refer to most is the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs that show a pyramid style of needs that start with the basic needs and at the top of the pyramid is the needs that are satisfied when all other needs are met. The variety...

...Remembered event Growing up for me was one of the best occurrences that made my life interesting. I got to explore things that meant so much to me, that included items and equipment in the house. My parents’ support made me feel that I was doing the right thing. Like a chick which hides under its mother’s feathers, I would always run to my mother whenever I messed up things, for instance when they started crumbling down. I would also be devastated when things did not work out for me and my experiments failed. This always made me sad as I felt as if I was a failure. However, life did not stop at any instance to let me continue enjoying the toddler things. I had to undergo changes that were meant to make me better and grow into the man I am today. However I do recall some of those instances that I find interesting about my childhood. When I was eight years old, it was the best time for me to leave home and become a pupil in a junior school. This was the worst thing that ever happened in my life. I felt as if all the weight on earth was being laid on my back. I had to leave my mother at home and go spend time with other kids in school. I hated everything about school at that time and no matter how hard my parents tried to convince me that it was good for me to be at school, I still could not take it. When I was eight years old, it was the best time for me to leave home and become a pupil in a junior school. This was the worst thing that ever happened in my life....

...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...

...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...

...Problems Facing Human Services Clients Lizabeth J. Justus - Routson BSHS – 305 September 18, 2014 Dr. Robert Vado The Range of Problems Facing Human Service 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 can be implemented to serve the clients’ needs. These problems can range from housing, food, physical or mental illness, alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, Veteran’s issues and child or family issues. All of 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. Some of the basic skills are verbal and non-verbal communication, and listening and responding. These are the foundations to the human service professional and client relationship. Used correctly, they can help form an easy flow of helpful information and an effective helping relationship with the client. Problems 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...

...Problems Facing Human Service Clients and How They Are Helped Amanda Blue BSHS/305 February 23, 2015 Joanne Schrock Problems Facing Human Service Clients and How They Are Helped There are many problems in the world today that human service clients are faced with, and are not limited to just a few. There is no one person with one single problem which is shy it is so important that the “whole person” is helped. Some of the problems that plague clients today are innumerable, but I will attempt to elaborate on a few. Human Service workers ensure that children live in safe homes and have their basic needs met. Helping parents to take care of their children may include in assisting with applications for food stamps or low-income housing and helping them to locate appropriate childcare. Housing or the lack of housing is one of the issues facing Human Service clients today. Many people are without homes for various reasons, such as not having money to pay, which means they are jobless, or not making enough to cover their living expenses. A client that is homeless can be faced with many other issues simply because they have no place to live. Another challenge for Human Service clients is depression. Depression can come about when a client is not able to adequately live with the necessities of life and seem to have no means in which to acquire them. When a client cannot provide for him or herself, it is detrimental to their well-being and may bring on a bout of depression...

...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...

Knowing this is critical to be able to understand the client and what problems the client can encounter. There are different levels of problems; some of them are small and some of them are large. The different problems affect people in different ways and this means each person deals with them in different ways. Knowing this is why there are different specific helping skills human professionals can use with clients.

It is the professional’s job to focus on the clients problems to find a positive productive way to address their problems. In human service the problems in living have two different components. They are the description of the problems and a plan of action and this leads to the resolution. The problem can be a simple problem to a very difficult problem. The problem needs to be described and labeled such as an even, or situation that is troubling the client. The problem is identified and discussed with the client then they come to a plan of action for solving the problem. Once they know the problem and have discussed and they have a plan it is now time to put the plan in action the results will be evaluated by the human service worker.

This field has experienced many great changes that have enabled them to be more efficient to the clients and themselves. Human service professionals remain educated and trained to be reliable resources to those who are in need. As trends continue to change, so does the role human service professionals and how they deliver services. There has been quite a change is the role of the client in the helping process. For several years, the client was an inactive receiver of services. Involvement of the client in human service delivery has risen significantly. The client is now actively participating in the helping process. This transformation has required attempts from human service professionals to involve the client in the helping process. Forming a collaborative relationship requires skills that foster a trusting environment. After a connection is present, the client develops into an active participant in evaluating the issue/issues and circumstances, gathering information, establishing a strategic plan, and assessing the course of action. “Consequently, the client shares responsibility for the success or failure of the endeavor” (Woodside, 2011). As the client adopts a new part in the helping process, today’s human service professionals require diverse helping skills. “Advocacy—recognized, accepted, and taught as a human service skill—will continue to...
