Support Students

Undergraduate human services programs seek ways to support students as they develop their professional identities. Few, if any studies, have considered the benefits of engaging human services students in art directives as a method for them to reflect on their professional identities. The following is a case example on how an art directive was incorporated in an undergraduate fieldwork course at an urban community college.

Mass incarceration has resulted in the United States having the world’s largest incarcerated population and the highest rate of incarceration. Consequently, nearly 1 in 4 Americans has a criminal record. Racial and ethnic minorities have much higher rates of incarceration than Whites. The collateral consequences of a criminal conviction are colossal and continue well beyond incarceration. Human services students must be well prepared to competently serve clients and families affected by this crisis. This exploratory, qualitative study aimed to determine if undergraduate programs accredited by the Council for Standards in Human Service Education offer course content related to the mass incarceration crisis. Results from a content analysis of course titles and descriptions of 17 accredited programs suggest students are not being adequately prepared to competently serve this population. Implications for human services education, practice, and research are discussed.

Findings from two studies investigating sources of variations in parents' assessment of helpgiving practices and personal control appraisals are reported. Participants were parents of young children with disabilities or at-risk for poor developmental outcomes. Parents were involved in early intervention and human services programs that differed along a continuum from professionally centered to family focused. Results indicated that demographic characteristics showed no relationship to either helpgiving practices or perceptions of personal control. In contrast, program characteristics were highly related to helpgiving practices, and both program characteristics and helpgiving practices were highly related to personal control.
