High Risk and Sensitive Phrases for Progress Notes

Although mental health therapists should never try to hide critical information from therapy notes, there are many times when writing the details is unnecessary or even undesirable. So what do you write instead?

In this livestream Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey will give mental health counselors specific phrases to use for case notes when sensitive and high risk topics are addressed in a therapy session. She will also address how much detail you need to document in these scenarios and provide guidance on how to make these decisions ongoing.

Specific topics to be addressed include:
Documenting a history of sexual or other abuse
Discussing things like ongoing court cases with clients
Exploring gender identity with adolescent clients
Navigating diagnosis requirements by insurance with sensitive information clients want to remain private

Join us at 12pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, July 19th to hear all the great suggestions!
