Riverbend City: Human Services Policy Outcome

You have viewed and considered the social change controversy in the Riverbend City: Human Services Policy Outcome multimedia presentation. Discuss your proposal for an acceptable policy outcome from a human services professional’s perspective. Your perspective may be different from the Riverbend City community members, but take into account who defined the problem, how the policy was developed, and which entity was or should be charged with implementing the agreed-upon policy. What would be the possible consequences, from a human services professional’s point of view, if no policy was developed? Who would be the winners and losers if the policy is implemented?
