Often times when we encounter these situations we might not know what to do or how to respond. This assignment is to assist in preparing you and your classmates on how to respond if you encounter one of those difficult situations. You will be expected to select a work or occupational setting that you might be interested in working in at some point and research the steps that you would either be mandated or should follow if you were to contact the Department of Human Services (DHS) due to substantiated concern. After collecting the following information you will write a step-by-step process explaining.
