I HATE writing notes.. and you know you do too! We went to school to be clinicians, NOT authors!! And while in school, we learned all about clinical theories, diagnosis, interventions, etc., but clinical documentation was not part of any of our programs. Now here we are, most of us in private practice, writing notes the way we think they should be written with very little guidance from insurance companies. 

If you are in private practice and you accept insurance then you NEED to know how to write notes. Insurance companies can audit your charts at anytime and if your documentation doesn't meet their guidelines then you'll be giving back your hard earned money.. and A LOT of it!! 

This is an interactive course that includes  example of a biopsychosocial, progress note, treatment plan, and treatment plan update from a real client's chart using a SOAP template; examples of measurable vs. non measurable treatment plan objectives, audit tools, and more!

April 25th, 2024 8:30am-4:30pm

Live interactive webinar by Sarah Gilbert, LCSW

Approved for 7 cultural competency CEC’s through NASW/CT, $160

This training is suitable for mental health professionals who already have some experience in working with transgender, non-binary and gender questioning clients. This full day training goes more in depth than Trans 101 to explore ways in which you can support clients through social, legal, and medical transition.

Specifically, this training will cover:

• The intersections of gender diversity and cultural, racial, religious identities and socioeconomic status
• Detailed information about medical transition options such as cross-hormone treatment and gender affirming surgeries
• Assessing and addressing family dynamics with minors who are transitioning
• How to provide psychosocial assessments for clients seeking gender-affirming healthcare, to provide letters of support without gatekeeping
• The processes for legal transition steps in CT.
• Gender dysphoria and co-occurring experiences such as substance use, PTSD, autism
