This week, you will have two Discussions. The first is the regular Discussion. You will need to read a Case Study as
preparation for discussion. Then, using information learned in Chapter
4, you will identify and apply concepts and skills from the human
services field to the case study.
Next, be sure to respond to the Video Discussion
Homelessness is a complex issue affecting many in the
United States. As a human services professional, you must carefully
consider the history of homelessness in this country and work diligently
to become advocates for change on this very serious issue in society.
Please respond to following:
- After viewing the California Homeless Youth
Project’s videos, discuss your reactions. What did you know about this
issue before you watched the videos? How has your awareness of the issue
changed as a result of what you learned? - Do you think others are aware?
- How can human service professionals work to educate the public about homeless children and poverty in America?
- What are the negative stereotypes of the homeless and where do you think they originated?
Discussion responses should be on topic, original
