Problem-Solving in the Human Services

The ability to solve problems is a basic life skill and is essential to our day-to-day lives, at home, at school, and at work. We often solve problems every day without really thinking about how we solve them.
Good problem solving skills empower you not only in your personal life but are critical in your professional life. As a supervisor or leader in our agency problem-solving is often needed to protect the safety of the people we are working with, resolve issues with employees and families, and explore ways to be person-centered.
