Distinctive Play Workshop Wednesday

Managing the Therapeutic Paperwork in Play Therapy

 

June 25th, 12 pm - 2 pm

This program provides an in-depth exploration of effective clinical documentation practices, emphasizing the application of the Golden Thread—the consistent linkage between assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and progress notes. Participants will examine documentation expectations across all phases of the therapeutic process, with a focus on maintaining clarity, conciseness, and ethical standards. The training also addresses common challenges in clinical writing and offers strategies to overcome obstacles to effective documentation. Special attention is given to play therapy, including how to accurately document therapeutic progress while preserving the confidentiality and developmental needs of child clients.
