The Treatment Plan- Ensure your actual treatment plan that would go in the client’s chart includes the following:
The mental health issue you will be addressing (There is no right or wrong here as long as you give me rationale in your assessment. You don’t have to give me a DSM-5 diagnosis, you can give me the category. Here are some examples: Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use etc).
The problem/s you will be tackling. For each problem you need the following:
At least one long term goal
Each goal broken down into measurable steps (SMART)
A timeline for treatment progress
Interventions for each goal with frequency (e.g.-1x a week individual therapy 45 minutes for 8 weeks, bi-weekly family sessions with x family members, 1x a month care coordination, Psychiatric evaluation, 1x a month psychiatric medication management, social work coordination with PCP bi-weekly etc). You choose the type of intervention and frequency, these are just some examples but you don’t have to limit yourself to those options.
