HSM Personal Leadership Plan
Trinity Services, Inc. is where I am currently employed, as an independent living counselor (ILC), in an adult learning program. Trinity Services, Inc. is an established, community based, not for profit, non-sectarian human services organization that provides an array of quality services and supports for people who have developmental disabilities. The mission statement of Trinity Services, Inc. is, “Trinity strives to be a leader in providing the highest quality, socially responsible and cost effective services and supports to persons with disabilities, so that they might achieve their full potential and have the opportunity to live full and abundant lives.” As an ILC in an adult learning program, I work on teaching and training of life skills.

    Human services is a broad field that includes many types of agencies and organizations that deal with many aspects of human needs; ethics and ethical management are important in the success of providing services for every provider. These items guide services including elder care, child abuse, unemployment, social security, disability, welfare, food stamp benefits, domestic abuse, mental health treatment, and many more. Regardless of the subdivision within the field of human services, ethics and ethical management will be tested. While dealing with individuals recovering from the use and abuse of substances including alcohol and other drugs, ethics and ethical leaderships are especially important. In the case of working with clients who have previously been addicted to substances, it will be likely that morals and values have not guided many of their decisions, but that is not to say that they do not have any. Almost everyone is guided by some set of principles; some may just not understand how to apply them to certain areas of their lives. Drug addicts and alcoholics will need to learn that their behavior is no longer only affecting them but that it is affecting many others around them including friends, family members and even coworkers. Being an ethical manager and assisting a client in this area will contribute to the success of the organization.…

    As we move into the new millennium, there is an emphasis on the need for leadership and the complexities of developing effective moral leadership. In out postmodern society, chaos and corruption prevail. Organizations are created while others go out of business. Programs that are effective and necessary are eliminated, while profit-making programs that serve those who have the least need find a solid market share. From a realist perspective, it is argued that leaders cannot afford ethics in this world of increasing responsibilities, political and economic intimidation, and competitive interests. However, an alternative view would argue that leaders should follow the requirements of ethics. Further, ethical leadership leads to the development of quality human services, empowered consumers and community citizens, and committed employees.…

    As I embark on my education journey to hopefully a Bachelor's degree in Human Services. The career I choose to permanently employ in is a geriatric case worker. I'd much prefer to work with a gerontology certification as my true passion lies with working with our elders. I have hands on experience in geriatric care and feel this is the perfect career for myself, and I know I will be a true asset to whomever employs me. Additionally, as a geriatric case worker continuing education potentials are widely available in most workplaces. I'd use this resource whenever possible to further educate myself and prepare for a new position with different and unique responsibilities. At forty years of age, with medical issues, I want to pursue my career and education more than ever. Helping others is within my nature. I am well prepared for the journey ahead. To add, and much to benefit from, the geriatric or aging population have so much life to them, stories to tell, seem more genuine, and many are abandoned by their own loved ones.

    Using effective ethical leadership is vital in every career field, but it is especially significant when working in human services. I have been a volunteer for over five years, working with women who are attempting to make positive changes and get their lives back on track. Most of these women have just been released from some type of incarceration. Most have lost their families, their homes, their jobs, and their self-worth. Most of these women suffer from alcoholism and addiction to drugs. Many of these women come from homes where some type of substance abuse was prevalent. Many of these women have been abused either physically, emotionally, or both. I work as a bridge between probation and parole and the women I assist, and I try my best to fill this gap with encouraging solutions.…
