COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

BHS 3003 Introduction to Human Services The Introduction to Human Services is the first in a series of courses in the Human Services Major. It is designed to provide a strong foundation for those who desire to work in a variety of mental health, correctional, educational, and social services settings where the emphasis is upon the helping relationship. As an overview, this course will also address ethics, his- tory and standards, theoretical approaches, processes and skill development, case man- agement and outreach, as it relates to the development of the person, family group and social systems, research, program evaluation, and assessment, the clientele to be served, and, the future trends expected in this emerging applied discipline. BHS 3043 Human Development for the Human Services Professional Human Development across the life span addresses the nature and needs of individuals throughout all developmental levels from birth to the end stage of life, following a develop- mental thematic approach (i.e., psychological, sociological, moral, career development, and physiological). Thematic approaches and stage theories are the platform that students will use to explore techniques that may be applied directly in organizations providing hu- man services. BHS 3053 Family Dynamics for the Human Services Professional Family Dynamics for the Human Services Professional is a broad-based study of the family. It is specifically focused upon relationships, contemporary shifts in marriage, and the modern American family structure as it is faced by human service workers that provide and deliver social services in governmental agencies and in public and private organizations. Significant attention is paid to social historical context, cultural diver- sity, and economic conditions, stresses and crises that affect healthy family life and also contribute to the circumstances of troubled and dysfunctional families as they seek assistance from Human Service professionals during times of crises.
