Date & Time: November 16, 2021 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Location: Virtual

This workshop is targeted at those new to the social service field, or those who would like a documentation refresher.

Record-keeping best practices will be documented and highlighted to understand and apply to your own field of social work practice and human services. Even if you roll your eyes at the thought of talking about confidentiality and case notes one more time, this workshop will address how even the most experienced practitioners, and the newest case managers, can unknowingly break confidentiality limits and rules. Your progress/case note writing skills will be enhanced, and we will explore how to make and keep time for documentation in an ever changing chaotic and demanding work environment.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Recognize and understand limits of confidentiality in record keeping and documentation.
  • Synthesize and analyze what information should be written in case notes and elevate best practices, according to the NASW Code of Ethics.
  • Evaluate and differentiate sample case/progress notes.
  • Utilize tips and techniques for writing case notes that can be applied to your work.

Please note: This course will cover a variety of social service record keeping strategies and best practices but is not specifically tied to clinical case note documentation (although it will be covered).
