STRATEGICALLY FOCUSED on Meeting FMHCA’s 2021 Goals During the COVID-19 Pandemic Based on our theoretical orientation Clinical Mental Health Counselors constantly conduct evaluations, collect data, develop treatment plans, collaboratively establish long-term and short-term goals for our clients, align-based evidence interventions with our established goals, and monitor the progress of our clients towards attaining the goals. New goals may be developed as our clients master their goals or if appropriate the counseling relationship is terminated. Similarly, annual goals and objectives were developed to achieve the vision and mission of the Florida Mental Health Counseling Association (FMHCA) by the FMHCAs President based on previous goals, policies, procedures, a SWOT Analysis, and survey results received from FMHCA’s members. As we enter another phase in our physical year, I am excited to take this time to celebrate our accomplishments and share with you where we are with accomplishing our annual goals and how we are realizing our goals. Let the celebration began! Thank you FMHCAs members, Executive Office staff, and Board of Directors. Collectively we have made significant progress towards meeting our annual goals. This year our goals align with the following categories: Association Growth Education/Training Inter and Intra-Group/Relations Board Efficiency Legislative Activity and Government Relations Strategic Planning Our association is growing, and we are expanding the benefits of being a member of FMHCA.
