It is essential to inform people of changes and why these changes are happening as when you are aware of why something is being altered you are much more likely to accept it. * Conflicting Roles; at times we may have to do tasks that are not normally in our job descriptions and this can often be seen as ‘treading on someone’s toes’ causing conflict and power struggles. To prevent this sort of conflict it needs to be explained to each individual why tasks have been given to other people to complete. Doing this
Human service professionals work diligently to provide support to various different types of individuals. They may encounter clients that struggle with substance abuse problems, mental illnesses, different types of abuse, or a number of disabilities. Their client base can consist of individuals of various socioeconomic statuses, ethnicities, and religions. Human services professionals work with many different variables each day but the primary goal of human services professional is to meet the individual needs of their client. In order to accomplish this goal effectively, I believe human service professionals must possess the characteristics of empathy, effective communication skills, and persistence.
This can be different for every person and depends on the circumstances of that particular person who you may be communicating with. Some people do not have the ability to be able to talk to us and tell us what they would like or if there is something wrong. These people that cannot tell us there emotions may use all different types of actions instead, this could include facial expressions, hand or body movements or gestures. 1.2 Explain how effective communication affects all aspects of own work Communication with my own work is very important. There are many people that we as care workers need to communicate with.
Element 1 Working with the range of groups and individuals whose communication needs are different, part of my job role as a Team Leader/Supervisor is to support the staff and service users in effective communication, to recognise the service users’ needs according to their Individual Care Plans and proper assessments and to provide more training and supporting staff to gain more skills and knowledge in communicating. Our range of clients is from people with ABI /acquired brain injuries/ to some with mental illnesses as bipolar and paranoid schizophrenia and some with personal disorder. Proper communication most of the time is vital because when a service user is in a challenging mood, aggressive or angry, the proper communication and approach is essential to manage the situation. The teams’ are aware of their clients communication needs and ability. The staff is trained to recognise any early signs of aggression and all are able to read and use properly body language.
We not only look different but we have different characters built on base of genes preferences, as well the influences of our parents and friends, schools, age and life experience. This is why it is so important when making the first contact with our clients. We have to be able to gain their trust and get as much information about their history, their likes and dislikes, background, hobby’s, fears, allergies, history of illness and if possible medication. Initial consultation is a time for acquiring information and finding out client’s history in order to personalize an induction. A person's preferences and modalities are not always stable and can change in order to a situation.
For the purposes of this research paper, several approaches were combined to create a comprehensive plan for suicide intervention. Follow-up treatment is paramount as well as effective services for extended friends and family. Crisis Intervention: Suicide Introduction to Crisis Intervention Crisis intervention is an important aspect of counseling that touches almost every individual in some form or another. While the idea of a crisis tends to conjure up thoughts of panic or extreme distress, crisis situations occur in many forms, some much less obvious than others. The outcome of a crisis may depend on how well an individual copes with such upheaval in their life and whether they are able to garner the support and help they need.
The theories that I currently prefer are the family systems approach and solution focused therapy. I want to work with clients in family units from marriage to children so that is why I favor the family systems solutions. I think the family systems approach makes a lot of sense, in the sense that when one client is the "problematic" client it can disrupt the family as a whole. I believe that when dealing with clients you not only need to work on the problematic client but you also need to work on the surrounding factors and family members in order to "fix" the issues. In family therapy you have to pay attention to every thing from who sits next to whom, family balance, roles and communication styles and this challenge also intrigues my interest.

The key is defining the right competencies and behaviors beforehand so that the exercises will facilitate the relevant behavior. Bench marking existing employees who are regarded as above average performers is one way of doing this, but for a start up operation it is a bit more difficult and requires more research and planning to identify the right skills. It then becomes a matter of designing exercises that will measure a number of different candidates objectively against the same criteria. Employability or genetic skills such as communication, teamwork, initiative, customer focus, influencing and negotiating, technology skills and leadership would be assessed along with specific job role skills.
