Both Alicia and Montford need to achieve higher social skills and the ability to communicate their feelings in a more positive manner. Services, Resources and Support Focusing on the children’s behavior, I would recommend some sort of therapy for the both of them. It seems they have underlying behavioral issues that affect their everyday communication and social skills, thus affecting their school performance. Both parents also need some type of therapy and encouragement, so they can be great role models for their children. Both parents need to teach their children the importance of school and why it is important to get good grades. This family will need housing services since their...

...funding influences the resources we have to help the increasing number of those in need.” (Woodside & McClam, 2011, p. 92). Trends will involve a variety of situations that will need the assistance of human services professionals. No matter what the trend is, the time, or the individual who it applies to, the ultimate goal is to meet the needs of the clients. Today economics and political events rule the types of trend(s) regulated into today’s society and how it affects human services, by not possessing readily available services for those in need, especially in crises situations. This has become more of a growing phenomenon within the past year(s) with issues such as health care, gun control, terroristic attacks, addictions, childcare, housing, mental health illness, child, and family services to name a few.

...Trends Paper BSHS/305 September 22, 2014 Elizabeth Brook Morford Trends Paper Trends in the human service community basically means changes that occur over time. These trends can include changes in climate, employment, demographics, or many other things that effect the community around them. Trends needs to be shared amongst human service professionals in order for everyone within the organization to be on the same page so that everything can flow together. The fact that the baby boomer generation is growing older is a trend that cannot be ignored because the amount of senior citizens within each community has risen over the last decade. Trends are very important because they come and go over time. Therefore if there is a trend that someone does not like then they should just work harder and remember that the trend will eventually be over and a new one will be presented. The current climate of restructuring, downsizing and retrenchment has resulted in tense work environments. Shifting locations for human services workers is normal. It is therefore imperative to discuss and document ways in which students can be assisted through the difficulties and challenges they encounter, especially about marginalization and exclusion. Whatever the future of human services innovation looks like, the key for organizations is in making the most of the forces of change in the alignment with their unique circumstances. According to Government Technology, “The political...

...THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO COMPUTERISATION?∗ Carl Benedikt Frey† and Michael A. Osborne‡ September 17, 2013 . Abstract We examine how susceptible jobs are to computerisation. To assess this, we begin by implementing a novel methodology to estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 detailed occupations, using a Gaussian process classifier. Based on these estimates, we examine expected impacts of future computerisation on US labour market outcomes, with the primary objective of analysing the number of jobs at risk and the relationship between an occupation’s probability of computerisation, wages and educational attainment. According to our estimates, about 47 percent of total US employment is at risk. We further provide evidence that wages and educational attainment exhibit a strong negative relationship with an occupation’s probability of computerisation.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons. The climate was attractive for growing population of seniors. Land prices, housing, taxes, and utilities were affordable. With the average cost of an acre of industrial land in the Penticton area at $45000 in 1991, businesses were attracted to the area. Between 1984 and 1991, manufacturing jobs in the region had nearly doubled plus house price were low. Population increased during that period of time. Climate is the biggest factor of population increase. Penticton has the best climate in Canada. With population of 27,000 people seemed to indicate 27-30 would be an appropriate number of restaurants for the city. At that time, however, there were about 100 eating establishments.
