Family and Human Services II

Family and Human Services II continues to prepare students for the provision of human services to individuals and families. Students gain hands-on experience in the principal activities of the field by assessing the effect of caregiving on the family; assessing work-family integration; examining ethical and professional concerns related to the field; assisting individuals with diverse needs and challenges, including caring for older adults and providing physical care; managing the home environment; managing food to meet nutritional needs and specialized dietary constraints; demonstrating communication skills that are important in the field; and seeking employment in the field. Students develop skills in critical thinking, practical problem-solving, and cultural awareness. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
