Description
Treatment planning can often be a hassle for busy clinicians. Yet if treatment is to be effective patients need to know where they are headed and how they are going to get there. This webinar will offer some practical tips to improve the treatment planning process, helping counselors to avoid that “I’m entering the vortex of evil” feeling when it’s time to develop the plan.
The webinar will focus on the development of individualized versus “program driven” plans with the goal of writing plans that are measurable, attainable, time-limited, realistic, and specific. The webinar will discuss how to formulate problem statements based on the assessment, goals based on problem statements, objectives based on goals, and interventions based on objectives, transforming required paperwork into clinically useful information.
