description: >

Week seven is an asynchronous week, during which we will focus on learning about treatment planning and documentation. We don’t have reading from the textbook, but I have several supplementary sources for you to review on how we engage in treatment planning from a person-centered perspective (Mancini, 2021). The ethical (Reamer, 2005) and practical considerations (Bodek, 2010) are explored. A specific focus on SOAP Notes from Cameron and Turtle-Song (2002) is also shared. There are forums for students to reflect on the content, share examples of notes and goals that you might have with clients in your practicum setting, and consider technology and other ethical considerations. My lecture video shares an example of a treatment plan and discusses how it is implemented into practice. The agenda for the lecture video includes:

  • Week Seven Activities
  • Basics of Service Plan Creation
  • Example of a Treatment Plan

The Learning objectives for this week include:

  • Develop an understanding of how a treatment plan is used in practice
  • Identify the components of a treatment plan and learn from a practical example
  • Demonstrate the ability to write a SMAARRT goal and a SOAP note
  • Reflect on the ethics around documentation

Weekly Online Discussion Forums

The expectation is that each of your replies will be substantive and provide meaningful perspectives, contributing to the forum’s conversation and scholarship. They can be related to the prompts or building on conversations shared by peers. There are four forums for this week, and you are expected to make at least five replies1 across any of the forums. These forums include the following:

  • The forum reflecting on any of the content presented in seven2 is a place for you to share things you learned, how things could change your practice or areas of further exploration.
  • The forum developing a SMAARRT goal is a place for you share some potential goal setting that you might do with clients at your practicum.
  • Write a SOAP Note is a forum were I ask you to take work that you are doing with a client in your practicum, and write up documentation in the form of a SOAP note for a meeting you had.
  • There are new frontiers in clinical documentation and tools being promoted on social media around using AI and other new technologies in clinical documentation. In this forum I ask you to consider what that might mean and what are some of the benefits or potential challenges related to it.
  • There are many potential ethical dilemmas in documentation and the forum asks you to consider what they might be and how we might address them.

Midterm Evaluation

Please complete the SOWK 581 Survey. I would love to hear feedback about how this class is going and what I can do to improve your experience.

  1. Knowing that MyHeritage is on the fritz and everybody wanting extra time as you work on your assessment it is six replies this week. ↩

  2. Please note that each of the links in this list don’t work currently. I have my forums developed, but the and for the time being I’m including them here the body of the section so you can see the content you will be responding to this week. Because MyHeritage isn’t working I can’t make them forums. I’m hoping it gets fixed soon and will likely update this page removing the actual forums text. ↩

Slide 4
Slide with title 'Creating the Service Plan' lists considerations: client/family involvement, assessment use, strengths, barriers, client voice. Footer notes Jacob Campbell, Ph.D. at Heritage University, Fall 2025 SOWK 581.

Creating the Service Plan

Developing a strong service plan is important. We need to think about what is all involved.

  • Involving the client and the family
  • Using the assessment
  • Strengths
    • From abstract to practical
    • Burden of paperwork (i.e. more focused on paperwork vs. actual work)
  • Barriers
    • What type of barriers people face…
  • Client voice
    • Using client voice…
