...Why you chose to enter The Helping Field Milvia Follingstad, Bobbie Wilson, Joanna Piasecki BSHS/ 305 April 6, 2015 John West Why you chose to enter the helping field Why Professionals Choose to Enter the Helping Field. Professionals that choose to enter the helping field are normally mature, sympathetic and, established individuals who help others through interesting conditions. They receive a sense of approval when they help people in need. The tasks in the helping professions are massive, but in numerous cases, the incentives are important. These professionals provide both direct and indirect services to people in need. Some people chose to enter the helping field because many people around have children with disabilities or dysfunctions within the home and want to make a difference with them, helping them to have that support of the ones that have had the same experience. By learning more of how to help them and to find the best way to support them we can help many of the families around to understand what they are going through as well as learning techniques to help themselves with their child or children. Some professionals have actual personal experiences with family of people with different issues. All of these aspects of life have given professionals the motivation to become a worker in the helping field to help those needing help. When in need, we should be able to ask for help and be treated with respect; instead we have seen the opposite...

...Helping Field Summary Lynda McCarthy, Charline Meeks, Debbie Warnke, Marcial Wiggins BSH/305: Historical Development of Human Services: An Introduction August 31, 2014 Mary Newhams Why Professionals Choose the Helping Field Written by Debbie Warnke I believe the reason professionals choose the helping field is because of a sense of accomplishment and the idea of being able to make a difference. Many human service professionals refer to this type of work as a “calling” and having the ability to show an individual or family how to become self-sufficient is a satisfaction that only someone in the helping field can describe. Why Choose the Helping Field Many of the individuals in the helping field are known as “idealists.” They have what is known as a NF (iNtuitive /Feeling) temperament. This temperament gives an individual a sense of purpose and they are known to be more creative, more empathetic, and have a tendency to focus on feelings more than facts. An individual with the NF temperament are often impatient with the business world, policies, and procedures, and are more likely to focus ultimately on the bottom line ( Myers, et al.,1998). Other reasons professionals chose to enter the helping field is because they know someone with a mental illness or addiction, they have other family members that are in the same/similar field, they like to help people that are in high risk situations such as substance...

There are many other factors like pay range, friends, or the influence of other co-workers. There are negative and positive aspects to why people choose the helping field as a career. In the helping profession one might feel they have a desire to help people and not realize that they really are trying to get their own needs met which will have a negative impact on the client. Self-exploration is the wish and or desire for an individual to find out more about themselves. Self exploration often leads to a career in the helping field. The positive aspect of self—exploration is the gaining insight about self and improving knowledge and skills.

... Why is investing in mental health important to your role as a human service professional? Which of the five characteristics listed in the text for human service professionals do you think is most important? Explain why. Why is investing in mental health important to your role as a human service professional? I strongly believe that investigating and understanding mental health is a must to a human service professional. Because before working on a situation we must know the actual situation. We should not work on guess. To give the proper help to the clients it is important to know their history and mentality. They could have any side which need special care such as endeavouring suicide. A service professional should give the best help and to do this they need to all about client as far as possible. They should ask their clients about their different side such as diagnosis, medications and so on. A human service professional must know about their client’s family, relatives, friends, background, community, culture by asking questions. These will help to make the client successful. Any professional should look try to get facts to ensure success. Getting facts need some techniques and skill. Professional needs to know the way of asking right questions. Questions should be such that they will be time affective and provide necessary information. The most challenging part is that every human are different from others.

...his Psychiatrist, Dr. Davenport and his girl friend Cheryl, is trying, sometimes turbulent, and full of pit-falls. Antwone reaches his own epiphany when he learns who he is, meets his family, and is able to trust others while overcoming his fear of rejection and abandonment. As I watched the events unfold through Antwone’s eyes, I asked myself what specific influences kept him from turning to violence and crime on the streets. I find those answers by carefully examining the progression of events, Antwone’s choices, positive influences, as well as looking at the meaning and symbolism behind the scenes. The first scene of Antwone Fisher sets the tone for the character development throughout the movie. Antwone stands in the middle of a vast field of hay and looks upon a white barn. The doors open and standing before him is a welcoming male figure extending his hand towards Antwone. No words are exchanged, but Antwone knows that now harm will come to him today. He walks through and another hand extends towards him: that of a woman. She has a warm smile and shows him to a...

...Introduction The theories of psychology can be observed throughout every aspect of daily life, in everything that we do. Whether in the classroom or a social gather, different concepts and ideas can be applied to human behavior. As a student of psychology, it would be difficult to complete a degree without considering which of these theories align with your personal worldview. Thus, this paper will reflect my journey through the program, as well as my personal philosophy towards the field of psychology, specifically to the theory of humanism. The application of this theory to my future career and goals, professional and personal, will also be discussed. Theoretical Perspective Humanists believe that humans are inherently good by nature and have the free will to make choices that shape the person you become. According to humanists, genetics and unconscious forces do not shape a person. Rather, a person’s choices and actions...

...I stated m caee in an The Challenges Facing Beginning Teachers New teachers bring varying backgrounds, motivations, experiences, and preparation levels to their initial teaching experience. Their view of the profession and their role in it is shaped by these motivations, as well as by the context in which they begin their work. This chapter explores the commitments that new teachers bring to their roles and the challenges they face. It sets forth the need for the development of a comprehensive induction program to help all new teachers become fully committed and more effective in the classroom. A CASE OF BEGINNING TEACHING Anna was a first-year teacher in an urban school. Although Business was her undergraduate major, she found her initial foray into the business world to be very unsatisfying. She wanted a career that would allow her to make a contribution to society. She heard about the need for teachers— particularly for math teachers—in her area. Not being quite sure what she needed to do to become eligible to work in a teaching capacity, she attended a recruitment fair put on by the local school district. There she heard about the program that would allow her to begin teaching while she completed work on a teaching credential through a district-led or a university-led alternative certification program. 1 Bartell 01.qxd 7/21/04 5:45 PM Page 1 After taking a test that measured her “basic skills” (reading, math, and writing), she was sent on some interviews at several middle...

...employer typically pays the referring employee a referral bonus. Recruiting candidates using employee referral is widely acknowledged as being the most cost effective and efficient recruitment method to recruit candidates and as such, employers of all sizes, across all industries are trying to increase the volume of recruits through this channel. Some organizations offer incentives to their employees for successful referrals.
