APA Social Sciences

Discussion Week 1 (6200)

The types of issues and concerns that children, and adolescents, present to social workers are as varied as the people themselves. Understanding how individuals behave in their particular environment will shed some light on their current challenges, but this alone is not enough. Social workers must know how to ask the right questions, as the answers will inform decisions about which resources may be most helpful.

*I need a discussion post and responses for two colleagues. I will post the colleagues discussion post, and you will respond to it. The initial discussion post needs to be about a paragraph long. Then the rest could be responses to the colleagues that I will post for you.

For this Discussion, think about the connections between social work and human behavior and consider why it is relevant to social work practice.

Post an explanation of why studying human behavior and the social environment (HBSE) is relevant for social workers. In your analysis, explain how HBSE is unique from other social and behavioral sciences. Please use the Learning Resources to support your
answer. I have attached the learning resources for you to get your information from.
