Focusing on recovery goals during the current pandemic may be difficult for many individuals participating in mental health services. Specifically, individuals' lives may have been disrupted due to personal illness, economic factors, and increased family responsibilities. Progress toward recovery goals, such as employment, education, living, and wellness, may have been put on hold while basic needs are addressed. This webinar will provide practitioners with the tools and strategies to assist individuals with refocusing on recovery goals. SMART goal planning will be discussed and applied to recovery goals.
