Heinz History Center, 1212 Smallman St, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Sponsored by the Western Pennsylvania Disability History and Action Consortium, This presentation has two parts and shows how major ideas and practices in human services have changed over time. It starts with voluntary, informal, unpaid help in ancient times and goes up to today's largely commercialized helping service systems. The presentation uses pictures of service settings, practices, and artworks to show what was happening at different times and why things changed. For previous participants, the event changed how they think about many human service practices. It helped them understand things they had seen, been part of, or contributed to, often for the first time.
