Training, Supervision, and Professional Development in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART™: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation

Human Service Organizations (HSO) are groups, both public and private with one main goal, to enhance human well-being. These organizations provide a variety of services for both children and adults including mental health care and educational programs. With the decrease of federal funding for these services, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure that these HSOs provide adequate services to their patients, it is vital that they adopt an effective model. The Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) model is an effective approach to designing, implementing, and maintaining services within HSOs. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs and is written in a user-friendly format. This helps providers easily integrate the model into their own practice or organization. This volume, Professional Development, Training, and Supervision in Human Services Organizations provides program directors and supervisors the tools they need to develop an efficient and effective training program for their staff. This includes onboarding, performance evaluation and professional development.
