This article had a great lead section that described the topic of the article and I think that although it described some of the sections in detail it was unclear which sections they were talking about. The section headings weren't really mentioned in the lead. The articles content is related to the topic and it covers the broad area of interest for human services. This articlIe wasn't intended to give detailed thorough information on each aspect of human services but to just provide a better understanding of what a human services professional would do. It addresses minority groups, and poverty issues in human services as well as social justice. I believe the article is neutral in nature. The information provided is simply to give an overview of what human services is, how to get into the field, the populations it serves, potential careers and ongoing education and tools. There are over 30 sources used for this article ranging from ranging from 1971-2022 and the sources are not from just the United States but Canada as well, because the article does briefly mention human services in Canada. Some of the sources just had names listed and added that the full citation was needed. I did check a few links and they worked for me. I think the article is clear, concise and to the point. It gives enough information but not too much in each section where you could forget what was said before. I did not notice grammatical errors and the sections were broken down into a readable paragraph or two. The article contains the picture of the front of the Metropolitan College of New York which was one of the first colleges to offer graduate in Human Services in 1974. The picture was correctly cited as well. On the Talk page there is just discussion on updating external links, word choice, and some further information on job choices. Overall I think the article was informative and explained what Human Services does and how you can become certified and involved in that field of work. It gave plenty of external links to go to that would go along with this article. I do think if Canada was mentioned in the article it should have received the same amount of detail as the United States portion did, but all in all the article was done well.
