INTRODUCTIONS
In HBSE I, you began your study of the biological,
psychological, and social dimensions of human development. As you think back on
your learning in that course, what concepts come to mind? Why do these ideas
resonate with you, and how might you apply them in your future work as a social
worker?
For this Discussion, you create a video to introduce
yourself to your colleagues and Instructor. Then, you reflect on your learning
in HBSE I and consider what new knowledge and insights you hope to gain here in
