overview
Completing paperwork is often one of the things we least like to do. We often see it as a necessary evil that takes time away from our real work — the work we do with people. But what if recording our interactions with people was part of the work we did, rather than just a recording of the work?
In this course, we explore various ways we can include the people accessing services in the recording process. We discover various strategies and tools to co-create client records.
what to expect
This short course includes:
- traditional vs strengths-based records
