Setting goals with clients can provide focus, motivation, and purpose for change. When setting goals, it is important that the goals be client-driven as well as fitting the mission and purpose of the social service agency involved. It is ideal for the goal statements to be short term and specific. Clients should be assessed for readiness prior to setting goals, and any barriers addressed as a result. Clients should be educated on the importance of the use of goals using culturally appropriate language. Goal progress should be monitored and evaluated to determine if the client is on the right track. A question: How do I handle the situation if a client's self-report on goal progress does not match what I witness?
