Share your thoughts on the ethical issues often encountered in end-of-life care, including euthanasia, curative treatment approaches, and accepting death without letting go of hope.

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of human services being provided by faith-based agencies? In what ways are client needs potentially better met by faith-based agencies, and what are some potential pitfalls?

DQ2:

How do you believe schools can most effectively respond to the dramatic increase in teenage pregnancy?

Discuss the issue of increasing diversity in student populations. Share your thoughts on ways in which human service workers in school settings can counsel and advocate for diverse students (such as, students of color, students with alternative sexual orientations, homeless students, etc.)

Are there services human service workers in schools currently don’t provide that you think they should?
