Human Services Steve and the Counselor What has the counselor learned from Steve? Halstead explains that "Empowerment comes from the process of discovering new learning," and in effect what the counselor learned from Steve has empowered the counselor for the future.

Human Services According to Unit 6's analysis entitled "A Blended Approach," an example of a top-down approach within an organization might be that of managers offering tuition reimbursement to workers who were studying for advanced degrees in a relevant field. Top-down approaches begin in the leadership of the company, and the spirit and practical implications trickle down to the lower levels of the organization. A bottom-up approach begins at the lower
Wellington that any criticism is only meant to help (Stuhlmiller et al. 2003). A mention of what appears to be Ms. Wellington's avoidance of difficult issues, from her increased focus on children to her incomplete paperwork, is also in order to effect a behavioral change. Goals set at this stage might consist of internal subjective measures on Ms. Wellington's own part, as education can have varying effects on different
