SOAP Notes for Mental Health Template

If you’ve completed your SOAP note and wish to make changes, you absolutely can. However, you must sign and date each change made for authoritative purposes.

While the answer to this can vary depending on the client's evidence, and the number of issues at hand, it is a good rule of thumb to stick to 1-2 pages. Anything beyond this is considered too detailed.

If you’re quoting a client, their close relations, or fellow healthcare professionals, it is important that you always provide a source. Verbatim is ideal, with source references boosting professionality within your practice.
