The human services department provides multiple services nation wide . Some of these services include social workers who are close working life partners with people in need. These needs can range from financial , medical , family situation , mental status and even rehabilitating the homeless . There are three main types of social workers are child/family , medical and public health and mental health and substance abuse workers.

The goal for a social worker is to take a unique individuals life and counsel the to betterness . For instance if a social worker has a case of substance abuse she must first set goals an create a game plan on how to held this individual . She will then work hand and hand with her patient or client to meet the established goals , better the client in a safe reasonable time. The goal for the social worker is to end her clients drug addiction . Then restart a new life with out drugs. This is a small example of a social workers profession.

` The Main goal in the human services department in my opinion is very simple to take a life and better it . As stated above the social worker needed to take her client of a drug addiction , that was her main goal . To better a life if not save a life . As a human services worker your goal is to help someone weather they have a sick family member or a child that has trouble leaning . There goal is to figure out what the sick family member will need , why is the family member sick , how can you better this persons life . While bringing them to a self sustained level . All of this tied together to me means bettering someone’s life or perhaps a families life ultimately bringing happiness . So some more by the book goals would include “Improving the health, safety and well-being of America.” To me that statement or goal as you would call it covers about everything.

Like I said earlier to take a life and make it better is my ultimate goal .

Next we can go into the history of human services ....
