Empowerment Approach to Human Service Management
In this paper I will be discussing the principles that characterize an empowerment approach to social service management and how I will apply these principles to the developmental processes at Children on the mend. An empowerment approach is very important for any organization including Children on the mend. It puts good structure into any organization it also makes sure that all clients get the proper care that each one of them deserve. By the end of my paper you will have a clear understanding about the empowerment approach and how it works in the human service field.
Hardin et al. (2007). States that an” empowering approach” to social service management is characterized by twelve basic principles. By using the empowering approach it makes sure that all clients are treated with respect in an empowering way. Empowerment is used in so many different ways, but it does help the client with their self- esteem along with making their day better. Empowerment helps the client with strengths and weaknesses. Here are the twelve basic principles In order 1. Empowerment- oriented organization creates formal structures to support the participation of clients in organizational decision- making. 2. Empowerment- oriented organization create partnership with program beneficiaries in which all parties are equal participants, 3. The purpose of client involvement in service delivery to decrease personal feelings of power lessons and to improve the quality of along with access to services, 4. Empowerment- oriented organizations explicitly develop policies, programs, and procedures that can be used to bridge, cultural, ethnic, gender, and other demographic barriers to effective service delivery, 5.
