For courses in human services and counseling. Explore the role and function of the generalist human services provider contextually, within a range of practice settings and current social problems I ntroduction to Human Services looks at the human services profession though the settings where human services providers work and provides information about social problems within a socio-political context to show how culture and ideology influence people's perspectives. The foundation of the human services profession is explored by examining educational standards and professional requirements, its roots as a helping profession within the history of social welfare provision, its ethical standards, theoretical underpinnings, and the nature of the generalist practice model. Comprehensively updated with new research, policy, and statistics, the 5th Edition provides an up-to-date exploration of what it means to be a human services professional, in all its various forms, today. Particular focus is placed on emerging issues and relevant events such as the current political conditions in the United States; escalating racial tensions; the impact of social media and technology; the state of poverty and its impact on at-risk populations; content on global pandemics (such as COVID-19); shifts in approaches to social policy; the climate crisis and environmental injustice; the growth of tented encampments; and legislation that impacts those in the human services and the populations they serve.
