Attributes to Expand in Human Services Delivery
Discussion Post
Post a rewrite of your Class Cafe introduction here, considering what attributes or identifying elements you feel need to be added, expressed, or expanded upon.
Then, explain this process of reexamining and defining yourself. Why did you make the changes that you did? How did you come to this discovery? What exercise, assignment, or resource from the course helped you better understand yourself and your identity?
