Applied Human Behavior
Description: This course is designed to engage students in a discussion of diversity issues as experienced both in society at large and in the workplace, and encourage them to apply newfound knowledge to real life situations. In their working lives, they will inevitably need to communicate and work with people from various social locations. These social locations may include race, gender, class, age, sexual orientation, religion, nation and/or ability. It is important that they identify their own social location to recognize how to handle differences and to adjust their attitudes if necessary. This course will equip them with the skills necessary to understand our diverse world, and manage that diversity with clients and co-workers. Additionally, course work will familiarize students with a variety of documentation skills related to intake, assessment, service plan development models, record-keeping, interventions, continuity of care and follow up, confidentiality, coordination, and termination of client care. Students will discuss the legal and ethical issues associated with documentation and client engagement along with strategies for addressing these legal challenges. Throughout the course we will focus on the use of best policy practice in interdisciplinary settings with a variety of client populations. Letter grade only.
