  1. Values Our Moral Compass 2010

  2. What are Values ?? • They are linked to our personal philosophy. • They are unique to us but may generally be shared by others as well. • They are at the very core of our belief systems. • Most of us act automatically upon them and give them little thought. • All of our values are based on personal experiences.

  3. Why do we have them ? • We use them to guide our decision making. • We fall back on them in times of trouble in order to refocus and heal. • On a social scale we all measure one another's value on the ‘’ values ‘’ we model. • Values drive our behaviours.

  4. They are our basic do’s and don'ts list . In a way they act as a moral traffic light. Never assume that we all share the same sense of morality

  5. How do we use them ? • For most of us our values have come to use by way of trial and error......we test drove them as kids  • In most cases we learn our values from our parents / community / peer group or other social influences. • Sometimes we hold values that we never intend to practice. • These are borrowedvalues......when you say you value something you cant/wont model, family, hard work, fairness / respect.....

  6. Group Work  Having conflicting values can often cause issues in our personal lives. List some conflicting personal values ? In the Human Services field conflicting values are not conducive to ethical behaviour.....Why ? In this field you will be expected to model your values....Why and How ?

  7. Human Services Values • Non Judgmental behaviour toward others. Empathic understanding. • Acceptance , to recognize others as having worth. • To provide support and advocacy for those who require or seek it.

  8. To model moral personal standards. • you are what you do ! • * Confidentiality. • * Self Determination , to allow others to make empowering choices in order to determine their own destiny.

  9. In Closing • If we act upon socially or criminally deviant norms or activities such as .... Theft, threats, racism/homophobia, involvement in drug culture, deviant sexual behaviour .....It is only because we “ value “ them ..... There is some level of pay-off ! • The Human Services field will not tolerate these values ... In time conflicting values will be recognized. • Retool your value set now !!!
