LAUSD: Students

Services and Benefits

• Student Health and Human Services:  These services will benefit me because they are created to maximize the achievement of a student. They deliver quick mental health and human services. 

•  Student Medical Services: I actually think this is great for the children and parents that can't afford going to the doctor. This service works together to provide needed health care to to students with no access to a doctor. 

• Psychologist services: This is interesting because they can make a positive long lasting change in a student's life including behavior and social interacting. I think this is a necessary profession to have at schools. 

Others:Finding schools, helping children with disabilities, providing financial support, providing mental support... 

I dont really think I need any of this, i am a somewhat a mentally balanced student and financially stable. But I think many students would benefit A LOT from what LAUSD has to offer, if it's either financial or medical. I honestly didnt know that students had this type of treatment but I think its great how LAUSD is actually providing us with resources to succeed in our educational life.

Education: There is no standardized education requirements for HHA. In some states, not even a high school diploma is needed. Other states require HHA to take preparation classes before they begin working. 

the certification requires 75 hours of training and skills testing 

Reflection: No, I don't think I would like to become one because I wouldn't want to be taking care of someone the whole day and changing diapers, despite the fact that it is a great community service and I respect the people that have patients for that type of job. But I don't think it's worth it especially regarding the slightly about minimum wage salary.
