How To Catch Up On Progress Notes (Part 1)

Behind in writing mental health progress notes? Dr. Maelisa Hall shares how to catch up when you're weeks or months behind. This is part one and a really important step that is not to be missed!
Sign up for the Summer Paperwork Blitz here: www.qaprep.com/summer-paperwo...
Many therapists fall behind in their notes, so it's totally normal!! However, without a clear strategy, it is easy to stay stuck in the cycle of catching up without making real progress toward creating a schedule that will be sustainable long-term.
Maelisa reviews the first four steps to catching up on therapy notes and the fifth step will be revealed in the next video.
Make sure to catch the regular live Q&A videos every Monday at 12pm Pacific!

Thank you so much for making this video and normalizing this 😭 I just put everyone to bed and finally going to catch up on these deeded notes. I’m definitely going to try your recommendations tomorrow during my work day as I write new notes after sessions.
