Welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to visit Rachel's Human Services Program Capstone Portfolio! This website is a display of my learning and growth in becoming a Human Services professional. Through the various essays, you will get to experience how I met the standards from the Council for Standards in Human Service Education. I have explained the classes, internships, and different acronyms specific to the Human Services field. You will also find different papers that I wrote over the course of the program highlighted in orange letters. If you click on these essay titles, you will find a link to the document. These essays provide evidence for the concepts I wrote about. Please feel free to explore as much or as little as you want! I also included references at the end of each essay in case you are interested in where I found certain information.
Culminating Project
For my final project which demonstrates depth in a specific area, I decided to create a Caregiver Manual for the current client I am working with. As I began to create this manual, I decided to protect her identity and keep information confidential. The manual that I created is in a general format that can be used for any participant in the future. I included different sections in the manual, including Introduction with History and Vision, Care Plan, Caregiver Expectations, Self-Directed Care, Interpersonal/Family Relationships, Task Checklists, and Contact Information. The purpose of the manual is to lay a foundation for new caregivers who will be working with a participant. Clients already have the DSHS Care Plan assessment, but it is a skeletal perspective on the participant's needs. The manual I created gives a more holistic view of the participant and all the systems that impact the care giving relationship. Here is a link to the manual: Caregiver Manual Template
