What is Rehabilitation and Human Services major at Penn State? 

I'm glad you asked! Rehabilitation and Human Services is a major offered to Penn State students through The College of Education. As described by the college, RHS "prepares students for careers helping individuals with disabilities or life challenges, such as addiction, poverty, or trauma. It focuses on advocacy, counseling techniques, and social policy, offering a 12-credit internship for practical experience in settings like hospitals, correctional facilities, and mental health agencies". The curriculum "covers human development, disability studies, case management, client assessment, and ethics".

My experience:

Throughout my time at The Pennsylvania State University, three Rehabilitation and Human Services courses have had the greatest impact on me. Those courses are: RHS 403- Medical Impacts of Disability, RHS 401- Community Mental Health Practice and Services, and RHS 400W- Case Management. Above I have included a highlighted assignment from each course that I believe shows my professionalism and attention to detail. I believe each assignment can be tied back to the world of occupational therapy- as there are so many components that go into the practice. Below I have added a link to Penn State's RHS website. Enjoy!
