S: Subjective -- topics discussed, quotes O: Objective -- presentation, symptoms (observed), interventions A: Assessment -- Progress towards goals; impairments or challenges P: Plan -- Homework; Client's objectives until next session; Therapists objectives before next session As a patient / peer counselor, I've not heard this acronym but I recognize all the elements. Thanks!

Tried to modify my session notes for things DA/MH auditor would look for. While I am satisfied with the writing I feel like I spend too much time doing notes like 10 minutes each. How long should a note take? I like to use PIE (Problem, intervention, and evaluation) to help template my writing but find this to be the bulk of my time and hard to do during session time.

The quick answer is that 10 minutes really isn't so bad, especially if you are in an agency setting and/or writing for Medicare/Medicaid. However, I do have a video on that exact topic ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4CmiWN7e958rJIsi=Hh1rsNG7BcKuY52X

Professor McCaffrey, I hope you're doing well. I am currently a student in the CMHC practicum, and my supervisor recently removed me from the role due to grammatical mistakes in my SOAP notes. As an international student, I am still working on improving my writing skills, and I wanted to ask whether this is a valid reason for being dismissed from the position. Is the ability to write perfectly without errors a critical aspect of the counseling profession? Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on whether tools like Grammarly or even ChatGPT could be used to assist with writing SOAP notes, or if such tools are considered inappropriate for professional documentation. Thank you for your time and advice.

@@alaissa2223 perfect writing isn’t expected or a goal. I advocate for “good enough” notes! For the answers to the AI platform questions, check out my most recent video on using AI.
