The
field of Human Services is a broadly defined one, 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. The
Human Services profession is one that 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.
The
delivery of human services historically has moved from institutional and medical
based systems to community based, not for profit, holistic services. Human
service professionals perform a variety of roles. Some of these roles are:
 |
counselor to those who need support |
|
broker to help people use community resources |
|
teacher of daily living skills |
|
advocate for those who are unable to advocate for themselves |
|
mediator between clients and between clients and agencies |
|
caregiver to children, elders, disabled adults |
