Thank you Joan for your 101 case management video. I have been away from case management and your video helped me to get back to what I really enjoy doing. You show the importance of case noting and also why it's so gratifying when it comes to helping someone in need. Keep up your great teachings.

Great Information

This was a major help to me. When writing case notes, I always thought I would give t0o little or too much information. I was happy to see the checklist provided. I now have a tool to use when creating case notes. Thanks so much!
