“The field of human services includes numerous professions that assist individuals in functioning more effectively through a broad knowledge of available services and delivery systems. Care can be preventative in nature or directly solving a problem. Common populations served by human services professionals are the elderly, children and families, and those suffering from mental illness. Often human services professionals are called to be advocates for others or advocates for change.”
