Create a Service Plan by creating 5 goals for your client, assigning a local organization who will assist with each goal and a date this will be accomplished by. For example, “Goal #1: Link client to grief counseling services to address the death of her son. This will be done by referring her to Hospice of Palm Beach County by the end of next week”. The goals can be in “list format” (instead of paragraph format).
