  • Ensure clear and concise documentation of sessions and collateral contacts that facilitate monthly supervisory reviews in accordance with agency policies.
  • Engage in weekly supervision, consultation, and meetings to assess client and program progress.
  • Attend all required FFT training sessions and utilize video recording as mandated.
  • Complete Care4 documentation as required.
