During some EOTS training programs like our clinical supervision and social work licensure preparation courses, we talk about non-disaster documents and forms that we use in other aspects of our work. We have posted some of them here. Click on the title (or the clip art) to view and/or download the document. Disaster related documents and forms that can also be downloaded are posted on the Planning and Preparedness page. |

DAP notes are an excellent format for documenting therapeutic contacts with clients. Under “D” report the facts and behavioral observations — what is the client saying/doing and what methods/techniques are you using. The “A” sections is for your impressions and the “P” section is for you future direction. |

Adults (and older teens) can fill this out in advance of an intake appointment. Ask them to arrive 30 minutes early to do this before they are seen. The intake worker can then review it with the client and embellish the incomplete answers. Use the Intake Attachment too (see above). |

Example of a form that can be used to easily track attendance and topics covered in staff meetings/group supervision sessions. The blank space to the right of the topics list is useful for adding brief notes about what was discussed about each checked item. |
