Question

Clients that receive services from Human Services Professionals are quite diverse. Some are voluntary clients, meaning, they actively seek out services and are oftentimes invested in achieving better life circumstances. Involuntary clients, on the other hand, are not as receptive to receiving assistance from Human Services Professionals. Involuntary clients are forced to receive services and are, in many instances, challenging clients. Think of the characteristics of voluntary clients (those wanting help) and involuntary clients (those who present challenges towards receiving needed services). In a three-page double-spaced paper, answer the following questions: With voluntary and involuntary clients, why is it important that these clients understand the impact of their current level of functioning and to be educated towards the benefits towards change? What are the short-term and long-term benefits of clients understanding resources that can assist them? What are the challenges of assisting clients with accessing resources and services? How can a Human Services Professional address these challenges?
