Order Instructions

In this assignment, you will create a case study on a community problem for use throughout this course. The case study should focus on a specific group of individuals experiencing a specific social problem related to the field of human services. It could be a case that you have come across in your organization or community, or it could be a case that you have heard about in the news.

 

To support your case study, you should use the databases in the Capella library to review and select 3–4 sources (peer-reviewed journal articles). You will also use at least two government and/or human services websites that may inform you about community demographics and how the problem is currently being addressed. The Neukrug textbook should be consulted for guidance related to the scope of human services and ethical issues.

 

You will build on this initial work during Week 6 of this course.
