One important duty of the human service professional is to promote change to impact the client’s well-being status. The client empowerment model focuses on aiding clients to make their own plans, and their own changes. The professional might implement the model in the counseling session with a teenager by asking, “Had you thought of how you going improve in the relationship of your parents?” This way the teenager can make their own agenda to change the well-being of him/her.

2) Describe how a community-based agency’s mission and goals promotes well-being and happiness for their clients.

The referral process is used because of many possible reasons. One reason is that the helper feels that another agency or another professional can impact the well-being of the client more. The first thing the helper would do in the process of referral is that the helper evacuates the client’s dilemmas and needs. The helper then provides the contact between the needed service and the client. Making referrals is difficult, especially for a rookie professional. A new professional might not have many contacts with professionals outside of his or her own work place. It is good to build that as you work for the client’s well-being.
