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!

WCSPP ANNUAL CONFERENCE VIA ZOOM
The Moral Development of Children:
Implications for Clinical Work with Children and Parents
Saturday, November 23 ~ 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
OVERVIEW: This conference invites reflection upon the cultivation of morality within today's families often challenged by an exclusive emphasis on individual development, the weakening of binding institutions, and the influence of the internet. How can clinicians help parents hold in mind the importance of moral development alongside their goals and good wishes for their children's future? How can they help parents define and integrate values that support the well-being of their own families and society? Through presentations and discussions, we will delve into these times and urgent questions.
