Case Plan Essentials

An effective case plan is built on a solid strengths-based assessment in collaboration with the client. It is not just a document, but rather a process that requires specialized knowledge and skills requiring the social worker to assume various roles and perform specific functions. This process begins before intake and continues through evaluation and termination. Using actual case studies, this webinar will focus on the development of an individualized case plan that supports the client in achieving their goals.

If it isn't in Writing, it Didn't Happen: Documentation to Protect Your Client, Yourself, and Your Organization

Documentation is vital part of the professional's responsibility; however, it is often given insufficient attention. Writing progress notes, reports & letters requires the human service professional to consider many factors including the purpose of the communication, the recipient of the communication & the goal(s) of the writer. This webinar will focus best practices in professional documentation for social workers and other professionals with topics including, but not limited to: how to memorialize your assessment, prognosis & action plan in your documentation; how to appropriately convey these issues in communications to others; when to draft reports narrowly versus broadly; how to advocate & persuade on your client's behalf; how to convey objectivity; ethical & legal issues in documentation.

Trauma Informed Person-Centered Care: Turning Compassion into Empowerment

Formerly titled: Trauma Informed Person Centered Care. As various systems, including mental health and criminal justice services, strive to support those we work with to achieve their goals, we are regularly faced with challenging behaviors from our clients that often appear to be self-defeating. Difficulty identifying life goals, knowing the steps to achieve those goals, and managing anxiety and self-doubt as they move forward, is a particular challenge for trauma survivors who have often adjusted to lifestyles and coping skills that are, at times dangerous, and only enable them to survive and not thrive. Important concepts such as “learned helplessness” and “fight or flight” can assist helping professionals understand the origins of how our clients move through their lives, often unaware of how to break free from dysfunctional coping strategies. Using a person centered approach, along with motivational interviewing strategies, this webinar aims to help workers understand trauma informed care in action, and turn that understanding into strategies of empowerment.
