Supporting Patients Needs Discussion

Part A:  Human Services professionals are responsible for supporting the needs of clients and acting in each client’s best interest.  In your own words, provide definitions for Informed Consent and Privileged Communication.  Then explain how the service providers in the videos violated those practices. 

Part B: Now discuss how the Social Justice Perspective and Strengths Perspective each support the needs of clients.  Use the cases presented in the videos to explain how a professional can use these perspectives to support their clients.
