Course Description:

'' Community Services Workers provide many types of assistance to people in the community from determining eligibility for welfare and health programs to counseling on child care, to helping clients with physical and mental problems as well as those involved in drug and substance abuse. They help determine and locate appropriate social service agencies such as those providing health care and physical and mental rehabilitation. Working under the direction and supervision of nurses, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals, and depending upon the type of work assignment, they may be a member of a treatment team made up of other Community Services Workers and health professionals, or they may work on their own with little supervision.

Many Community Services Workers serve clients in hospitals, halfway houses, detoxification centers, residential care facilities, rehabilitation centers, correctional institutions, homeless shelters and outpatient clinics where they provide training in daily living skills, personal communications and personal and vocational counseling.
