3.0 CE Hours Approve by GACA and NAADAC. Applied with GAMFT and GSCSW.

Description: 

Wellness is the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.  A comprehensive

 and holistic approach to wellness addresses the needs of a client mentally, physically, and spiritually.

 When all three aspects are included in treatment planning there is balance and enhanced potential

 for synergistic improvement and growth in all areas. Those that are not addressed may undermine

 treatment progress and lead to relapse, return of symptoms, and/or recidivism.


OBJECTIVES:

1. Participants will identify and define the aspects of overall wellness and their corresponding components.

2. Participants will review diagnoses and diseases states ideal for comprehensive wellness treatment planning based on symptom presentation and treatment history.

3. Participants will create sample treatment plans with objectives that include mental, physical, and spiritual treatment goals for clients.
