    Goal planning can look different depending on the client population you serve.  You will submit a treatment plan or a service plan depending on your role at the agency.  For tips on writing mental health treatment plans go to:  https://www.icanotes.com/2018/08/24/guide-to-creating-mental-health-treatment-plans/ 

    For information on Individual Support Plans go to:  https://www.dhs.pa.gov/Services/Disabilities-Aging/Documents/Individual%20Support%20Plan/Individual%20Support%20Plan%20(s_001649).pdf

    In Module 5 of the Basic Case Management/Resource Coordination Training offered by Education and Consultative Services of UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital in 2020, you will find some helpful information on Service Planning:  https://www.oerp.pitt.edu/basic-case-management-training/  For an example of a generic Goal Plan, see the Forms section.
