Question 1 : Perspectives from the Field

To prepare for this discussion, interview three human services professionals. Ask each one the following questions:

How do you define human services?

How do human services professionals view the helping process?

In what ways to human service professionals promote change in individuals, groups, and larger societies?

For your initial post in this discussion, post a synthesis of the responses that you have received. Review your findings. How did the perspectives solicited align or differ from what you found in this week's readings? How did they align or differ from your ideas of human services practice?

Question 2 : Human Services Delivery

Using the Library, find an article that identifies a current problem in the field. Explain how a human service delivery model addresses this problem and provides social care, social control, and rehabilitation services.
