Entries made are to include a record of all Counselor contacts with and/or behalf of the client. Case notes should include the counseling sessions, monthly contacts, telephone conversations, and reports of progress. Case notes will be filed on top of all other records on the left side of the folder. All case notes must be entered into the electronic case file (AACE), printed, and placed in the hard copy case file. All entries will be dated and the place of contact recorded (Category). The nature of the Case notes will be recorded in the Summary Section. AACE records the author of the Case notes as the person logged in the system. If another staff is entering the Case note on the Counselor's behalf, the Case notes will be signed by the Counselor. Record the first initial and last name.
