An Introduction to Human Services puts the field into a historical context, provides insights into social welfare, and gives examples of how primary intervention strategies are put into daily practice. The text also discusses the stresses that a human service worker may face in day-to-day work, with practical tips for avoiding burnout.

The 9th Edition keeps pace with the current state of the field and its ever-changing rules and regulations. New and updated coverage includes an expanded chapter on diversity, updated discussions of immigration, working with LGBTQ clients and more.
