Welcome to Human Services 101, Introduction to Human Services!

This course gives an overview of human services as a profession and as an academic discipline. It provides a sampling of the knowledge, skills, ethical values, and practical experiences needed to successfully assist others to a higher quality of life. Assignments are based on case studies, practical experiences, ethical dilemmas and a paper or project designed to help you decide if human services is the career path for you.

Getting Started

This course is built using modules, so you'll find everything needed for our program in the Modules tab in the left sidebar. Each module contains resources, videos, and a self-check to support one or more of the competencies assigned to this course.

The first two items on the module page are the Welcome and Greetings Module and then read over the Decide Your Path to Competency module

When are assignments due?

Because this is a competency-based course and not time-based, there are no specific due dates. You can move through the assignments as quickly or slowly as needed. Each module has a video and resources covering a concept from the course that is meant to aid in the completion of the projects that demonstrate competency.

Is there help available for Canvas?

Yes, there is! Go to this site for help with Canvas. You can also click the question mark icon on the left sidebar to access 24/7 help from Canvas via phone, chat, or support ticket.

What do I do if I have questions?

No question is too big or small! Contact me with any questions you have throughout the course; email is the best way to contact me (with the quickest turn around). There is also a place in the "General" module where you can post questions that might benefit other classmates; please note that if the issue is time sensitive personal email is best.

Work hard and stay connected!
