HUMAN SERVICE SPECIALIST
Program for A. A. S. Degree in Human Services

Human Service Specialist is a generic term for people with various job titles, such as social service assistant, case management aide, mental health technician, occupational job coach, drug and alcohol case manager and community outreach worker.

In general, Human Service Specialists help plan and implement individual treatment programs. Specific activities vary according to the work setting, but they may include the following: interviewing and information gathering; working in a hospital unit which participates in admitting, screening, evaluation, and discharge planning; record keeping; making referrals to community agencies; working for the patient’s needs and rights; and visiting patients at home after their release from a hospital.

Another area of emphasis is working in community mental health. They use rehabilitative techniques for non-hospitalized patients who have problems adjusting to their social environment. These specialists may be primarily concerned with drug and alcohol abuse, parental effectiveness, elderly or problems in interpersonal relationships.
