Counselors need to become familiar with a broad range of community services in order to provide comprehensive services to their clients. They must be conversant with what each supporting agency does and what it can offer their clients, who have a variety of different needs that can be met by experts in different helping professions. The 33 articles in this practical guide detail how specific human-services organizations serve clients. Each chapter is devoted to a particular agency, organization, or program. The authors explore how agencies evolved historically, providing clear indicators of current and future activities. They then describe the group of people the agency intends to target and establish the goals of the agency. Finally, they examine the precise services the agency provides to clients. All three components of each chapter contain crucial information to enable counselors to assist clients, develop realistic expectations, and coordinate available services. Readers will increase their professional expertise and will be able to serve clients more effectively and efficiently.
