Question:
Based on the unit readings about contemporary social problems and groups in need, select and describe one group that is facing a specific social problem. Discuss the relevance of this group''s needs to the field of human services and identify controversies relevant to serving this group or addressing its problems.
Response Guidelines
Read your peers'' postings and respond to at least two. Discuss additional factors or variables related to their groups that they did not consider. Hypothesize why you believe the group has, as Burger (2014) said, fallen through the safety net. When responding, seek clarification and provide substantive feedback.
