Introduction to Human Services

     Jeffrey, "A Human Services Professional is someone who is a facilitator
for someone who is not able or not yet able to deal with issues in a healthy way.
I am taking classes so that I can learn how to best help empower people change
their situation by believing in themselves.  I believe that people have the
answers within themselves, but may need help getting in touch with their
spiritual or intuitive self.  As human services providers, we hopefully strive
to model healthy behavior, including the fact that we are human, need support
from our peers, and can make mistakes."
     "When a client is ready, we educate them to give them an idea of what is
destructive behavior, bring to their attention possible consequences of their
actions, and suggest ideas or alternatives.  Usually a client already knows all
this, they just never knew a better way or thought their way of dealing with
life was normal.  I work on accepting each person where they are in their life,

about me unconditionally.  He looked at me like a real human person, which made
me uncomfortable, which now looking back, was probably because I wasn't used to
that.  My own father lived in the same house with me, but he was not emotionally
available to me.  My own father seemed to think that all women are good for is
sex and housekeeping.  That scares me when I think of that now.  My first
husband thought of me only as good for sex, baby making, and housekeeping.  I am
grateful that I have wised up since then.
     My passion is to work in the alternative schools as a tutor or mentor,
to help give kids some kind of an idea what life can be about.  I may not see
