Description
Training Description: In today's world, co-occurring service providers are tasked with collecting an extensive amount of information about each person served. Transforming assessment information into a comprehensive, accurate, and meaningful picture of the whole person provides a foundation for shared understanding across the support team. Creating a well-crafted interpretive summary strengthens our ability to engage, understand, and partner with the individual. The course will address how human experiences such as trauma and culture relate to the integrated summary. Participants will practice writing stage-matched clinical interpretive summaries.
