MHC 610 Final Project Part Three Guidelines and Rubric: Treatment Plan

Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a treatment plan, also known as a comprehensive case conceptualization. You will need to apply feedback from the previous submissions to submit this final portion of the treatment plan in Week Nine. Please note that Part One and Part Two of the final project will need to be submitted in Week Nine to inform the treatment, but they will not be regraded. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 MHC-610-03: Formulate developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive goals, objectives, and interventions to inform treatment planning

 MHC-610-04: Evaluate the use of evidence-based intervention strategies to inform treatment planning

 MHC-610-05: Create a comprehensive, client-centered, culturally relevant treatment plan to complete a comprehensive case conceptualization

 MHC-610-06: Assess current trends and contemporary issues across mental health service delivery modalities as they relate to treatment planning

Prompt Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome (shown in brackets).

I. Treatment Goals [MHC-610-03] A. Develop a long-term expected outcome of treatment.

II. Treatment Objectives [MHC-610-03] A. Develop a short-term expected outcome of treatment.

III. Treatment: Theoretical Themes [MHC-610-06] A. Describe central therapeutic emphasis, providing directionality to treatment that is keyed to the adaptive pattern for each goal and objective.

IV. Treatment: Theoretical Strategy [MHC-610-06] A. Develop an action plan and vehicle for achieving a more adaptive pattern for each goal and objective.

V. Treatment: Evidence-Based Interventions [MHC-610-04] A. Develop specific change techniques and tactics related to the treatment strategy for achieving treatment goals and pattern change for each goal

and objective. VI. Treatment Prognosis [MHC-610-05]

A. Summarize the likely course, duration, and outcome of the mental health condition with or without treatment. VII. Reevaluation of Treatment Plan [MHC-610-05]

A. Identify the importance of assessing the goal you developed for your client.

VIII. SOAP Note [MHC-610-05] A. Use clinical reasoning to create a clinical note outlining what might be observed during a counseling session with the case client which follows

the SOAP format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan).

Final Project Pathway Final Project Part One Submission: Assessment In Week Three, you will submit the assessment portion of the treatment plan. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all the critical elements of the final product. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Part One Rubric. Final Project Part Two Submission: Diagnosis In Week Four, you will submit the diagnosis portion of the treatment plan. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all the critical elements of the final product. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Part Two Rubric. Final Project Part Three Submission: Treatment Plan In Week Nine, you will submit your finished treatment plan. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all the critical elements of the final product, along with the assessment and diagnosis portions completed in Parts One and Two. Note that the assessment and diagnosis portions will not be graded in Week Nine, but they will inform the treatment plan. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Part Three Rubric. Final Project Part Four Submission: Reflection In Week Ten, you will submit your reflection on the treatment plan. This will be done using the Q&A tool within Bongo. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Part Four Rubric.

Final Project Part Three Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your treatment plan must be formatted using the provided Treatment Plan Template and the client’s case study. All sections of the treatment plan must be filled in for this final submission.
