...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...

...Client Paper BSHS 305 Historical Development of Human Services: An Introduction April 10, 2014 Client Paper Introduction While some clients can be a little difficult, they are individuals with multifaceted perspectives that include psychological, biological, cultural, social, financial, educational, vocational, and spiritual components (Woodside & McClam, p. 131, 2011). Clients can be helped in many different ways, therefore being a diverse Human Service Professional enables you to be an effective helper. There are a range of problems that clients encounter such as addictions, homelessness, and mental illnesses. With these problems will come various different skills the professional can use to effectively help their clients. Below we will talk about a range of problems the client faces and the helping skills that can be used to effectively help the client. Range of Problems Facing Clients When thinking about the client and what problems may occur, we need to look at the whole person not just the problem. Problems for clients are rarely single issues, and the human service professional should approach each client with the expectation of more than one problem (Woodside & McClam, p. 131, 2011). There are different factors to each of these problems which are cultural values of society, developmental needs of the individual, and some clients lack resources or skills, or both to be able to solve problems (Woodside & McClam, p. 163, 2011). These...

...Helping and How to do it Rebecca Harshman BSHS305 Rachel Ritchie For this paper in particular we will be discussing the things problems that are faced by human services clients. In contrast, we will also discuss the coping skills that are offered to them to help them address the problems that they face. I think one of the first things that the clients can face is even finding the services within their community to help them with the issues that they are facing. Whether the issue is that the only places near them do not accept their insurance or there is no place local to them. Sometimes there are places that will accept people with low-income and no insurance but it is dependent on whether or not they have received any government funding or community aid to assist with the mental health needs of those local to them. As budgets change, this too can change and cause some to lose the help that they have finally had the strength to try and get. Other issues that could be occurring could be related to the stigma that is often associated with a large number of mental health issues, this might even keep some from seeking much needed assistance. Many people think that people with mental health issues, whether it is depression, bipolar, anxiety, or even Attention Deficit Disorder, claim that these individuals are just lazy and trying to avoid doing what people should be doing, they do not understand that these individuals sometimes struggle just to make it through what...

...Client Paper Teresa Hunt BSHS/305 8-16-14 Amy Barker Client Paper Identifying a client’s problem is a crucial part of the human service worker’s job. The entire purpose of the client coming in is to address a need that is unmet. Before the helper can even begin to plan a solution, they use one of five ways to identify the problem: developmental problems, situational problems, hierarchical needs, and problems that stem from changes in society and the environment. Once the helper knows what the problem is, the communication is a crucial skill to have. Developmental theorists see life as a series of milestones that occur from birth until death. We all go through every stage but the ways people experience them may vary. One’s values, beliefs and childhood experiences also play a role in how a person goes through stages. A developmental model is useful when the helper has a client whose problem is considered deviant, such as criminal activities, like acts of violence, or mental illness. Situational problems are the result of violent crimes, accidents, major changes in life, such as a move to a new city or unemployment, and natural disasters. All humans may face a situational problem at some point in their lives. The result is problems that may be long or short term. Unemployment is a common situational problem today. It has a drastic impact on a person’s ability to provide necessities such as food, shelter and clothing for themselves and their family. ...

...What Is Human Services In the human services field there are various directions that anyone may turn to in this profession. If 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...

Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem. Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU) and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit that can change the order of operations based on stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved.

Microfinance is the provision of financial services to low income households and micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). The sector provides an enormous support to the economic activities of the poor thus contributing to poverty alleviation. Micro finance is usually understood to entail the provision of financial services to micro entrepreneurs and small businesses, which lack access to banking and related services due to the high transaction costs associated with serving these clients’ categories. The two main mechanisms for the delivery of financial services to such clients are relationship based banking for individual entrepreneurs and small businesses; and group based models, where several entrepreneurs come together to apply for loans and other services as a group. For some people , Micro finance is a movement whose object is “a world in which as many poor and near-poor households as possible have permanent access to appropriate range of high quality financial services; including not just credit but also savings, insurance, and fund transfers”1.

...What is Human Service? Human service has many job titles or specialties, but no matter what it comes down to one simple goal. That goal is to help people meet their basic physical and emotional needs, which they may not receive without outside assistance. There are many ways the human service industry can assist people who are struggling with various obstacles that keep him or her from meeting their needs on their own. Some of these obstacles have been created by the individual themselves, due to bad judgment or decisions. However, more often than not, the reasons people cannot meet their basic needs are due to circumstances beyond their control (Martin, 2007). According to the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS), “The Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but by also seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery.” When people find themselves facing obstacles they may need assistance. This is where a human service, or also known as social service agency may be needed to help the individual with problems. These problems can be a number of things ranging from lack of family or friends, unemployment, and mental and/or physical illnesses (Martin, 2007). Human services agencies can assist in many areas, but they also help by giving individuals the tools to do things on their own. People...

...will vary according to organization, culture and political boundaries, however, managers must posses the qualities of human, conceptual and technical skills in respect of the job description for effective management in changing times. Recommendations to address the development of manager’s human, conceptual and technical skills can be considered as follows. Management training may take place on the job “informally” or off the job “formally”, however, most management training takes place off the job states Stephen P. Robbins’s Essential of Organizational Behavior eighth edition. Informal training on the job tends to disrupt productivity and services so off the job training is advised. Off the job training is considered formal as they are structured and planned to facilitate the job description. As for the manager’s training in particular, formal settings, such as classroom lectures at the tertiary level or the organization’s own training institution providing coaching by outsourced professionals or the company’s own executives, seminars, workshops and meetings of company’s executives fostering networking and management development are recommended. Whatever the setting are the methodologies applied therein are conceptually the same as they are essentially structured to improve skills and knowledge. The contents of management training normally target issues facing the company as well as bench marking or leaning “best practice”/scenario simulation that...

...Tyler Bhame Ms. Carter English Hon II 5/17/16 The Human Rights Dilemma of Mental Illness Ignorance During the Great Depression in the Novel Of Mice and Men The stage of Of Mice and Men was set in the age of the Great Depression, which is illustrated by author John Steinbeck; the main characters, short, and short-tempered George Milton and wrongly-named, tall Lennie Small, are dumped into the Californian south, at a lone ranch. The immigrant workers find a job there off-the-bat and begin molding in with the scenery, yet cognitively impaired Lennie instigates mischief soon after arrival. Having presumably a disorder on the Autism spectrum or Asperger’s, mentally ill Lennie was unable to comprehend how to act correctly socially, therefore his loyal best friend George was always there. His love of delicate objects, but rather rough, raw hands leads to the death of multiple animals, and ultimately manslaughter. Blaming Lennie, a mob of ranch hands take a bounty on Lennie’s head, which leaves George only a single option to protect his best friend from torture: to murder his life-long companion Lennie. This all could have been hindered if the government had intervened early in Lennie’s childhood, by counseling and therapy, for this would have helped him behave better socially, and Lennie would life a more self-reliant life. During the Great Depression, the American government was scrabbling to get the US economy up-and-running again, and amidst of this, it had no time to focus...
