Objective 1: Explore the multiple roles individuals that work within the helping professions play and the different career paths available within the field of human services. The goal of this activity is to develop a sense of appreciation for the many different hats that those in the helping professions wear. It is very common for students to seek a career that involves helping others. While that is a laudable goal, students are sometimes surprised to learn that there is not one, but many paths and careers that involve providing meaningful help to those in need.
