Module 1: Treatment plans have evolved from ancient ideas of mental health and societal norms. Modern treatment plans can feel at odds with a humanistic approach because they create a formal, and sometimes hierarchical, process. However, treatment plans are essential for mental health intervention, serving as agreements between the mental health professional and the client. They offer accountability, especially for insurance purposes. Another benefit is that treatment plans help structure the therapeutic process, ensuring there is a clear, mutual understanding of goals. In this module, you will learn how to create a treatment plan in 10 minutes, using a 10-step model that is provided as a handy, FREE digital download that can be used in your practice today.
Module 2: This module explores why treatment plans often fail to engage clients, highlighting the need to understand motivational style—not just therapeutic goals. Traditional treatment plans typically focus on symptom management, but they may miss the client’s underlying motivation, making it hard for clients to fully engage. By applying Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which emphasizes autonomy, competence, and relatedness, mental health professionals can align treatment with what drives the client, making change more attainable. This module provides two treatment plan examples - one standard treatment plan often used in mental health settings, and a treatment plan designed to incorporate your client's motivational style.
No more fumbling trying to find the right questions at the end of an intense mental health assessment … no more wondering if your treatment plan is actually the right thing. No more frustration when your client doesn't seem to get it. After this course you will feel empowered in your ability to quickly create treatment plans that you and your clients are excited about!
