In human service, agencies focus in fulfilling the client’s necessities. Depending on the type of organization, this will also invest in supporting workers to ensure their emotional health. It is important for Human service providers to be both physically and emotionally healthy, since one cannot promote health while remaining unhealthy. The quality of the work environment is one of the most important factors in the workplace. One can get a lot done in a day and think that is successfully meeting the client’s needs, however, with no emotional support one can get emotionally fatigued. For this reason, support, supervision and training are essentials in order to provide the best services for both the client’s and the worker’s emotional health. As human service workers, we need to remember that we are humans. We need to take time for self-care, and be good advocates for our…
In chapter 11 page 202 Miller explains how people rarely talk about their actual jobs or job duties when they are asked about work. They talk about how they feel when they are at work and how they feel about the people they work with. Many will also explain the culture of the place they work. People’s emotional connection with the place they work has everything to do with how they approach their job and how they deal with those duties. So in a sense I would consider everyone’s job consisting of ‘emotional labor’. Now how bearable the emotional labor is will have to do with the individual. For example, if a co-worker comes to work in a foul mood I try my best to make the work day less stressful for them so that their bad mood doesn’t get…
Number 1: The three main events of the story would have to be the 8th night; the night in which the murder occurs. 2 when the narrator kills the old man. 3rd when the police arrive at the scene. I think that the eighth night was an important event in the story because it was the only night out of the 7 before that the old man had his eye open. That’s important because without the eye the narrator did not have the courage to kill the old man. The narrator killing the old man is killed, is a huge development because it liberates the audiences suspense , because it lets them know that its finally over , and that he was able to complete the task and get rid of the old man’s evil eye. The police arriving at the scene is important for the development…
The goals of health promotion and disease prevention are central to the nursing practice. These goals are helping people to be and stay healthy, managing health of those suffering from chronic diseases and disability, and creating environments that promote health (Pender, Murdaugh, & Parsons, 2015). The federal government has also supported these goals by implementing initiatives that cover the wide range of topics from chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, mental disorders, heart diseases, and respiratory diseases to tobacco use, substance abuse, physical activity, and food safety (“Explore Federal,” 2017). The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of a federal initiative “Million Hearts” including its mission and population of interest. The paper will also provide a background and a clinical significance of the topic of the initiative as well as specific goals and interventions of the initiative. Furthermore, this paper will also provide evidence-based literature to support the interventions in “Million Hearts” initiative along with an assessment of these…
Heart failure is an ailment where the heart is not able to pump the required amount of blood to the body.

From the film Healing the Warrior’s Heart, I learned that for centuries American Indians had unique ways of treating PTSD on returning soldiers. For example, centuries ago the Blackfeet Tribe had their warriors go through a sweat lodge before going to battle to get purified in order to get strength and be protected. When the warriors returned from war, they would get cleansed in the sweat lodge. I learned that the reason the warriors had to go through a sweat lodge when they came back from war was to wash all of the negative things they experienced. After the cleansing, the warriors were able to go back to their families in a good way. I also learned that in other American Indian tribes, when warriors returned from war they needed to go inside…
What managers and employees fear the most is being sued. Managers will make special efforts to prevent such situations from occurring. Some managers will neglect high stress levels of their employees and lack the proper attention to legitimately discontented and unhappy employees. This throws common sense and compassion out the door. Compassion is the workplace amplifies the morale and enthusiasm of the employees along with cooperation where people are actually open to help and not move quickly into suing and organization. Experiencing compassion at work generates positive emotion and, in turn, shapes employees ' long-term attitudes and behaviors. Positive emotions generated by compassion have a cascading effect on employees ' attitudes and behaviors, thereby increasing job satisfaction and lowering job stress, (University of Michigan: Newsroom, 2003).…
