This unit develops the fundamental helping skills required by human service workers in community settings. A systems approach to helping is examined. The helping process is based on a lifeskills helping model including issues of: establishing an appropriate helping environment, clarifying, exploring problems, setting realistic goals, closing a helping exchange, and referral procedures.  The distinction between advocacy, mediation, helping and counselling will also be addressed.  The case management approach is explored. Exploration of the student's own values and attitudes is considered an essential component.
