Social care is assisting clients in meeting their social needs, with the
focus on those who cannot care for themselves (elderly, children,
victims of crime, disasters, or crisis).
Social control differs from social care in two fundamental ways: who
receives the services and under what conditions they receive them.
Most recipients of social control are able to care for themselves but
have either failed to do so or have done so in a manner that violates
societys norms for appropriate behavior.
The purpose of such services is to monitor or restrict clients
independence for a specific time because of law violation (those in the
criminal justice system).
Rehabilitation is the task of returning an individual to a prior level of
functioning (veterans, those with physical disabilities, victims of
trauma) (Woodside & McClam , 2009).

The delivery of human services involves both the client and the helper.
Clients are active participants in many different systems that influence
their circumstances.
Services must be delivered with an understanding of the clients culture
and with the clients participation.
Helpers must attempt to see situations through the clients eyes.
Professionals must also function as educators and help clients to
develop certain skills to increase their intellectual, emotional, and
behavioral options.
Clients should be treated as thinking, feeling, and acting human beings
who are capable of change (Woodside & McClam, 2009).

The basis for the the new profession of social workers was
the belief that such people needed specific skills, knowledge,
and understanding to work effectively with the poor.
The development of this profession is significant; it
represents the beginning of the professionalization of human
services.
Later in this century, the fields of welfare, mental health,
child guidance, and probation also became professionalized.
The reexamination of the causes of poverty also took place
(Woodside & McClam, 2009).

Models of Human Service Delivery
Medical Model
Resembles the medical model in its diagnosis and treatment process, but
the models differ in recipients of services and methodologies of
treatment.
Whereas the medical model emphasizes individuals, the public health
model focuses on groups in the population who may be identified by
geography (community, country, region, or state) types of problems
(abuse, poverty, specific illness), or specific characteristics such as age
(children, elderly).
This model views mental disorders as the result of malfunctions or
pressures created by the environment or society. The disorder is
evaluated for its impact on both the individual and society.
Preventing the problem through supporting activities such as the use of
films, speakers, school programs, and pamphlets, all aimed at educating
the population about the problem (Woodside & McClam, 2009).
