Discussion Post

Go to MindTap and view the video under "Additional Resources" entitled "Typical Day for a Front Line Human Service Professional".  The man in the video describes a very long day filled with seemingly unending work. Discuss the following reflecting upon the video, readings and your own experiences:

• When you think of being a human service professional, what kinds of duties and responsibilities come to mind?
• Which are most interesting to you?
• What duties would you rather avoid if at all possible?
• As a human service professional, how do you think you would deal with time pressure issues?
• What are some strategies you think would be most helpful? Describe at least two.
• Think about the day-in and day-out schedule of a human service professional. How would you balance your personal and professional lives effectively? Include a definition of what "balance" means to you.
