It can be hard to quantify the subjective relational experience and the magic that happens during counseling, but IEP teams and insurance companies require objectives that are S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-limited.)

This e-book will help save you time on documentation with over 125 mental and behavioral health objectives spanning 13 different social-emotional areas. Examples are also included for each objective area, as well as a template to help you write your own unique S.M.A.R.T. objectives. These goal areas were originally written for use with children and adolescents, but the format and many of the goals can easily be adapted for use with adults as well.

Topics covered include:

Anger

Anxiety

Behavior

Depression

Emotional Regulation

Feelings identification

Listening and Following Directions

Problem solving, Conflict Resolution and Decision-Making Skills

Self-Awareness

Self-Esteem

Social skills

Stressors

Vocational
