The Psychosocial Assessment

Course overview

A thorough Psychosocial Assessment is key to creating an effective and clear treatment or recovery plan for clients to progress in treatment. This course identifies many important aspects of a psychosocial assessment, including the use of tools such as the ACES and CANS, as well as other areas which should be included in such an assessment. Towards the end of the course we have included the case study in development of Fezzik, the character from the Princess Bride. This helps illustrate some of the developmental features which are useful in a complete assessment. This course is an online, non-interactive, reading based, self-paced, and asynchronous course.
