HSM 210 Week 4 Differentiating Between Public and Private Organizations

Resources: pp. 12, 14, & 15 in Ch. 1 and Ch. 7 of Human Services in Contemporary America, and Appendix G

Describe a social policy that may affect your future position as a human services worker.

Compare and contrast how a public versus a private organization might address this policy differently. Include an explanation of how the delivery system of a public organization would be different than that of a private organization. For example, what would be some differences between a state-funded child placement agency and a private adoption agency in regard to how they deliver their adoption services?

Consider how you could influence this policy to meet your clients’ needs. If you work for a government organization, you may not be able to lobby, but what other ways could you advocate for your client population?

Respond in 200 to 350 words each.
