The human service work are of several different domains as well as the human service worker are practiced in several different fields.  The human service has several different type of work; all of them are for the improvement of the society. Some human service worker are working with the individuals, some are working in a groups. Some work for the social policy. Human service is one of the imperative fields of the service sector and has immense impact on the society. Human service plays a vital role in improving the society.  Few social workers work with families and in partnerships (Barker, 2003). Some work with community some of the social workers are engaged research and evaluation. Some social workers are engaged in rural and privileged child education and training. In this way the in different framework the social service worker, provide their valuable service to the society. The social worker works in several different fields of practice such as some work in health sector, some work for the patients who are suffering from mental health problem. Few of the social service workers work with child protection and juvenile justice. Some work with disable people some work with the older peoples. Few of the social worker works in rural and remote areas some work for income security and employment service. Some work with youths for the enhancement of their moral and social health as well as for enhancing their employability (Doel and Best, 2008). Some are working for preventing the misuse of the substances. Beside this, the social worker work for disaster management and environmental sustainability.

There are several diseases which spreading in the societies such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. In these dreadful diseases, several the people of the community are suffering from this disease. The human service is one of the important aspects, which has a great impact on people’s lives. The welfare of the people should on top of the priority as it enables the people to maintain high standards of living and keeps the people fit healthy. Thus, the service work should be, served for the humanity so that the community can grow up to the mark. The social workers are contributing their valuable service to the several different areas such as individual work, group work, and work for social policy, community work and education and training of the rural privileged child. Some of the social workers working with the families and some work in partnership. Some work in the field of research and education. The social workers, who works with the individuals work for the individuals specific problem such as some of the individual are in very poor mental stage or the old disable people who do not have any helping hand the social worker help them. Some people are working in a group they work in community to develop the community health. From the entire activities of the social workers, the most appealing work of the social worker in my point of view is the community health (Lupica, 2006). The human service worker spreading awareness among the people about theses dreadful disease for the actual foods habits which prevent obesity, diabetes and cancer. They train the people about the healthy life style, which support them in preventing these dreadful diseases (Martin, Rosen and Sparacino, 2000). The social workers spread leaflet, which consisting of the list of healthy foods and life styles the exercises that help to reduce or eliminating the dreadful diseases. The community health is the most significant aspects of the social field and in my point of view, most of the stress should be given in this specific field. In my point of view, community work is very essential because it associated with the overall development of the community. In a community, there can be several types of people, who need help. Some are poor; some are suffering from acute disease, illiteracy. There are many children, who are not getting proper education. The human service workers help them to improve their life. Several human service workers are engaged in this particular field.

The organizations of human services provides coverage of health care to more than 150 million people through Medicaid, Medicare, health insurance program, and other health services. Human service workers and organizations works in the field of health sector.

They find mentors for the teenagers and ride to doctor for an elder one (Crawford, 2006). The service of the organization provides the people with the needs to survive and safety to the patients. The human service sector speaks on behalf of the people those who are afflicted with the AIDS; those who are affected by violence; victims of sexual assault; families and children; the hungry and homeless. The human service worker represents the sets of quality services to the health centers all over the world and manages the department of service (Crimando and Riggar, 2005).

Improving the health of infant and maternal and promoting the safety and health development of youth and children. The human service conducts public health and health with large source of funding for the researches on medical in the world. The health sector is the most significant in my point of view as the health is the wealth. Without proper health, the people cannot do anything properly. The people, who are suffering from some acute disease, are mostly suffering from frustration that leads them to committing suicide.  Therefore, they need more attention the human service workers provides great emphasis on this field.

The human service worker foremost and first helps the human beings and desire of improving the community. People should understand their roles as well as their duties towards the community and the society. The other qualities of human services workers include strong sense for interpersonal boundaries, compassion, excellence communication skills, and professionalism patience.

Human services worker imposes vital impact on the society depending on the sector has their workplace on the families, individuals and the entire community.

A health care sector helps the adult and children dealing with the hardships with the chronic health condition and aid in families understanding the adjustments and navigating the system of health care. The impact of human services workers are felt through the society from the elder care, public policy planning, health care, education and criminal justice. The human services worker plays a vital role in the society and makes the community more efficient, safe place and healthier to live and work (Hasenfeld, 2010). Human service worker have several path in terms of education for preparing the workforce.

Human services workers play a important role in each and every sector of health service. Several NGO and government health organizations are engaging in this field so that the worker involve with theses NGO as well as government organization work in this field. They got proper training and motivation before they start their job. The people, who inspired and motivated to provide services to the poor, suffered people are working in this field.

Field of Practice

There are various types of organizations in the market and there are organizations dealing with the services for human well being too (Blevins, 2015). To achieve the goals of human services an organization is, needed to be, formed. The human service sector is broad and needs good knowledge, skills and disciplines for enhancing the work of the organization of human well being in respect of both the individual and in a group or community. Aim of these organizations is to manage the human welfare of the society or a country.

There are three types of organizations dealing with these kinds of services.

Non Profit Organizations- Commonly known as NGOs is the organization formed in order to fulfill the goals and aims of the organization making the organization run without any profit motive. The capital of these organizations are collected through funds from the donors and grants with a view to help the organization and make a service free to the needy people. The organizations’ structure is of like and sometimes may be within the private organizations (Candler and Dumont, 2010). The private organization calls that non-profit sector of their business as the welfare society making gestures to help the people needs free treatments and medicines. These services are the activities helping the society to upgrade.

The private sector- Apart from the non-profit organizations there are organizations formed with rending the services but with profit motive. The private sectors offer services like; counseling for children, health care agencies, mental health practices, etc. the do take charge for the services they provide and are target oriented (Humanservicesedu.org, 2015).

The public sector- These sectors generally operated by the government of any country. As the operations are in the government’s hands, the availability of the resources becomes easy and the work can be, carried in a broader prospect compared to the NGOs (Managing the non-profit organization, 1992).

The organization should look for the need of the people of the country or the society in order to bring motivation in the people and improve the condition of the people. The organization should analyze the gap in the society and make strategies to fill the gap making the people upgrade themselves and improve the standard of living (People In Aid, 2015). The organization rendering the free services to the people of any country or society aims in approaching to people and make a difference in their lives. Take them out of the suffering they are into and provide them a better future. The only thing needed for these organizations to run is motivation. The services are like; education, awareness of personal hygiene, awareness of population control, etc.

Skills, knowledge and proper amount of training are some of the basic aspects that help to develop a proper community that can make people fit and healthy. The utilization and execution of the skills and the labor should maintain an alignment between them for the proper development of the community. The human service workers should have high moral value with the adequate urge to do the job within the needy people. They should have adequate knowledge of the needs of the poor people, the diseases their mental health problem and the process to help the needy people to sort out their problem. They must have effective communication skill, so that they can communicate the people efficiently (Pembroke, 2004). They must have computer knowledge so that they can record their daily activities in computer and then effectively communicate and coordinate with the related peoples. They should have adequate knowledge of effective communication process such as verbal and non-verbal communication. In verbal communication, effective choices of word provide their speech extra power so that they can affect a lot. Their voice tone must be good and pronunciation must be clear and audible so that each and every single person understand their word their speech(Pierson and Thomas, 2010). Their coordination power and management power must be excellent so that they efficiently control their entire activities with the needy peoples. They should have adequate knowledge of the community people their faith and beliefs, their religion, the community peoples social status all are matter. They must have adequate knowledge of the dreadful disease and their remedies so that they can help the needy peoples. The effective foods habits and the healthy life styles, which help the respective patients in recovering from the deadly disease should be knew to the human service peoples (Kadushin and Harkness, 2002). With all the knowledge and acumen the human service people are efficiently provide the valuable service to the needy people.
