Competency

Explain the range of diverse populations and needs served by Human Services Professionals.

Scenario

Human Services Professionals serve many populations (e.g., children, elderly, those experiencing mental illness) served by Human Services Professionals and continuously work to improve the services they provide to these populations.

As a newly hired Human Services Professional, working with a population you are inspired to help, your team is charged with seeking additional funding to continue serving this population. Part of this process includes creating an educational handout for community members to better understand the population, current gaps in service, and interventions that help. Your goal is for community members to see this handout and understand the importance of bridging these gaps.

Instructions

Review the populations described in Section 03 of our book. Select a vulnerable population you are inspired to help that matches the Human Services role you identified in your Module 02 assessment.

Create an educational handout about your selected population to be distributed to community members. Your handout should be 1-2 pages and include the following:

• A description of the selected population
• Challenges routinely faced by the population
• Examples of intervention strategies.
