Delivering Human Services: Consumers, Agencies and Communities: Important Aspects in Delivering Services

M5 Discussion A – Important Aspects in Delivering Services

This discussion is your opportunity to work together to “wrap up” this course. It will serve as a final review of the course and enable you to focus on some of the important issues for your final paper.

In your initial comment you should focus on what you feel are the most important issues associated with the delivery of human services. Your comments may include some or all of the following: the assessment process, service planning, monitoring, brokering, client/agency relationships including such issues as cultural competence, empowerment, etc., community/agency interaction issues such as mobilizing, social policy development, advocating, linking to the external environment, and networking, intervention models, case management, etc.

In your initial comment be sure to discuss why you think the ones you have chosen are important and how they might be better implemented either in your focal agency or in the broader human services delivery system. Be sure to use concepts from the course readings, not simply your own ideas.

NOTE: The Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY) is the focal agency
