HSRV 20100 - Clinical In Case Study Method I

This is the first of two courses which will provide the student with field opportunities in an approved field instruction site that provides structured learning opportunities for the student to demonstrate human services foundational knowledge, professional standards, and practice competencies required of an entry-level human services worker. An agency supervisor and a faculty member supervise students as they complete the required 180 hours of fieldwork. The classroom component relates theory and principles of practice to agency field-study experience. Through group interaction, discussion, and analysis, students learn to develop supportive relationships with clients and apply the values of confidentiality and client self-determination. They learn how their values and personal experiences affect their work with clients.
