Joanne's post: As being a human service professional I am presented with a male patient age of 56 year named Sammy.

He states that whenever he is presented with a problem, whether it be work or family related he turns to alcohol to cope with his problems. After reviewing my notes in Sammy’s case my observations, results of his Cage and MAST test, I have a challenging decision to make due to Sammy not just having a problem with alcohol but with depression also. I evaluated that Sammy suffers from Substance Abuse and Dysthymia. I based my decision on Sammy’s history of abuse of alcohol and its persistence; however, it is not severe enough to meet the criteria for substance dependence. Based upon the challenges faced by the patient I would utilize positive psychology approach such as psychological therapies and self-help groups such as Alcohol Anonymous. I do believe these options would be beneficial in helping Sammy maintain a healthier lifestyle. After encouraging the Sammy by suggesting that recovery is possible not just for a select few, the positive psychologist then begins to work with the addict to re-envision life and begin a process of self-discovery in which the patient comes to know what activities and relationships are most important to him (Seligman, 2004). As being human service professional, I would follow codes of ethics that focus broadly on standards of practice that are inseparable from the behaviors and ideas that workers bring to the profession.

Option 2: Professional Challenges

3. My client is a 32 year old woman with 5 young children and she
faces substance abuse and alcoholism and has failed to return
back to her treatment classes or contacted her counselor in
several weeks. My client has not seen her children in about 6
months due to substance abuse. Life has taking a toll on my
client she wants to give up on herself and her children. Some
approaches I would take in helping my client is increase the
frequency of contact that is given to my client if it’s a phone
call, to a house visit I want my client to know I am here for
them every step of the way . I also would encourage my client
to contact other group members to reinforce the value of
reaching out for support to not ever feel alone and think they
are in this by their self. As the counselor I want to make
continual efforts to follow up with clients on their day to day
living. After reviewing the cultural competence elements that
are identified in the National Organization for Human Services’
Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals the
fundamental values of the human services profession include
respecting the dignity and welfare of all people; promoting self-
determination; honoring cultural diversity; advocating for social
justice; and acting with integrity, honesty, genuineness and
objectivity. Using these ethical standards clients should have
ready access to the services they need and should receive equal
treatment for equal need. This is particularly important for
people who have dual or multiple problems as they are often
referred from one service to another without receiving
appropriate treatment. Services should be relevant and
responsive to the individual needs of clients. They should be
appropriate for the client's gender, social circumstances, ethnic
and cultural background and take into account any other
problems or disabilities the person may have. . The client's
values, expectations and belief systems should be respected. I
would consider using the Psychology approach in helping this
young woman find support from other people in her community

4. and attend group sessions. Participating in these sessions can
provide a strong network of support for individuals, where they
feel less alone knowing that others are experiencing something
similar.

CAREER OBJECTIVES
I seek to utilize the skills that I have acquired in the
field of nursing. The motivation is to be able to give service to
my fellow human beings by providing health care. I have gained
skills in the area throughout my engagement as a student. The
passion and drive that drives me come from the realization that
service to humanity is equivalent to service to God. I believe
that through engaging in this career, my overall goal is to be
able to serve the community in terms of providing human
service in the health care unit. Having passed through the same
institution, I believe that I understand the rubrics surrounding
the department that I seek to be employed. I aspire to rise in the
human department and be able to offer my services to the
institution that I hold dear. Besides, I have served as a
volunteer in public health.
ACADEMIC
QUALIFICATION
I am a bachelor’s degree holder in public health. I have
enrolled for a master’s degree in the area.
PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

7. I am a hard-working individual who requires minimal
supervision in my duties. I am reliable and able to interact with
other members of the department well. I am friendly and easy-
going. My primary motivation is the ability to impact on the
welfare of others. I am flexible and able to adapt to a new
environment.
Additionally, I am trustworthy and obedient. I also worked in
various organizations as a volunteer and therefore gained
experience in my area of interest. As a volunteer, I was
responsible for the welfare of patients in a private health center.
The skills that I gained from volunteering are an addition to
what I can offer if given an opportunity to join this team.
EXPERIENCE
Since my childhood days, I have always had a passion
for serving others. I believe that this is a unique characteristic
passed on from my mother. I have undertaken various
community services in the community. Additionally, I have a
bachelor’s degree in public health. I am also taking a master's
degree in the same field. I believe that the best experience is the
ability to be passionate about anything that one undertakes. I
have been able to serve as an intern in the university health
unit. The experiences from the internship make me the best-
suited candidate for this post
PART II

8. The job requirements demanded additional skills that I do not
possess (Parker and Brown, 2014). I had to adjust my resume a
little bit to fit most of the requirements that were highlighted in
the job description. Here are the changes that I made to my
resume after analyzing the job requirements.
I had to change some of the keywords that I had in my initial
resume. I did this to adhere to the job description.
I had to change my career objectives to rhyme with the
description that was given. In the job description, there was a
requirement of a person able to handle students. I had to include
the role that I played while at school, related to the job
description.
The skills required which I did not poses include a master's
degree, experience in offering online classes, and expertise in
teaching non-traditional settings to students.
I feel I do not have all the requirements, but I can handle the
job.

I did alter keywords to align my resume with the job description
of a Family Services/Family Involvement Coordinator After I
reviewed the description, I was able to add additional duties
that I have accomplished. Based off of my records, I already
possess many of the skills required for a manager and leader in
this profession because of the positions I have worked in my
career. The description of this profession seeks a professional
who is able to deliver a variety of competent services to a wide
range of individuals. This profession involves coordinating,
developing, and implementing systems as well as maintaining
programs which is something I have done throughout my career.
My work with diverse groups will aide me since one of the
requirements is working with families of various racial, social
and cultural backgrounds. I haven’t had much experience
working with low income families, so I may require additional
training. One skill I don’t possess is being bilingual. Speaking
Spanish isn’t required but it is a plus. I possess many of the
skills desired for this position therefore, I qualify for this
position. The next step would be for me to apply.
