“Beyond the obvious advantages of insisting on Electronic Health Records competency in counselor training and education, the Herdman Assessment Form also helps to form each student’s individual interviewing skills, creative interpretive approaches, and a recognition that ambiguity and complexity are norms in our field. The HAF’s emphasis on simplified, integrated, and collaborative assessment and treatment planning artfully prepares students beyond mere technical prowess and lifts our emerging workforce as a whole. I can’t imagine not using the HAF in my classroom.”
