Ethical Interventions to Serve Children and Families
In this course, you had an opportunity to examine some of the specific areas in which human service professionals intervene in the lives of children and families to help keep children safe. You learned about agencies and interventions designed to help children and families. You also considered strategies to improve the condition of children and families who receive services. One of the most important aspects of your job as a human service professional is the knowledge and understanding of what services are available for your clients, ethically providing those services, and in a way that is valuing diversity.
