Values for Your Work as Human Services Professional

As human service professional, I interact in various ways. These include caregiver, case manager, teacher, counselor, behavior changer, consultant, mobilizer, advocate, community planner, community change organizer and implementer, administrator, and evaluator (*). In order to most effectively and successfully carry out these responsible and diverse roles, I am recommended to adhere to a set of values and ethics particularly prescribed for human service professionals.

The values not only make me do the work that I love in the most effective way but it also helps me better help people and avoid conflict. I may, for instance, have my own ideas about how to best help people and in my fervor and ardor commit indiscretions. The values advise me to respect confidentiality of client at all times. They also tell me to place client foremost and to treat him or her with respect and dignity.

Social work provides one with countless tricky and complex situations. The values help me to negotiate these situations so that I am able to maneuver them successfully and in this way best help the client when he/she most needs it. There is time, for instance, when my promise of confidence to client needs to be broken (as, for instance, to ensure the safety and protection of another).
