Thank you for this informative video. I look forward to watching what else you have posted that may help me during my time as a student and future social worker
These are very helpful ways to take notes. I was wondering, do you take notes in the freeform way first during the session. Then, do you organize it after the session in one of the other formats, such as SOAP? Thank you!
Oh Hani great question...personally I try to avoid taking notes during the actual session as much as possible. I want the client to have my undivided attention. I summarize the session in SOAP note form following my meeting with a client.📝
I've always wondered about social workers and psychologists who dont take notes during a session. Im in school now to become a Social Worker and I know I tend to be forgetful. I can imagine myself nervous and worried about forgetting information while a client speaks to me. As a beginner, can we take notes as a client speaks to us? Can we record? What is best to do?
Hi!! If you feel like it’s absolutely necessary to remember a certain detail, by all means take the notes. I would let the client know that you were taking notes because you feel it’s important to follow up on. In my experience most clients feel annoyed when a therapist is busy taking notes though☺️
Suggestions: You often refer to "the next video" or "my next video" but there's no link to the video. And, since this video is more than 6 years old, it would be helpful to have the name of the video--or show it in the right sidebar.
Yes! I am recording and editing as we speak --Life has just slowed me down lately. Is there any particular request that you have? You can also follow me over on Instagram @socialworkscrapbook I hang out a lot there!
The topic on different types of session notes was great and very helpful. Some information on just the process from the first session with a client, and things like that. Sometimes what you learn in a book does not always translate into a real life situation. Thank you.
Do you keep your clinical notes for each client in the same notebook or do you have a notebook for each one?
This was a great find, thank you!

Sound is very low--it is difficult to hear.
My job prefers DAP notes.
I’m 12 years old, did I search this up so I could study as much as it so I can help out people my age going through a hard time? Yes :)
You are so sweet also you and I have the same name
