How to make counselors complete their session notes (in a timely way)
1. Have an in-person meeting outlining your church/practice’s expectations (learn more).
2. Remind your counselors via text, email, or in-person each week to record their session notes. You could also have an assistant remind them for you. Just remember that if you plan on manually reminding your counselors to do their session notes, you first must know if and when the counselor met with their counselee (click here for tips on scheduling).
3. If you’re not sure which counselors haven’t completed their session notes, you could check BibliCare's "who-hasn’t-completed-their-session-notes” accountability list. You can also have BibliCare’s automated accountability partner remind counselors to do their session notes on your behalf.

Tony’s church was using several tools to manage their counseling ministry. Over time, the counselors’ filing cabinets grew heavier, the excel sheets multiplied, and organization flew out the window. At that point, Tony decided that he needed to get coffee with a programmer named Bob. Together, they drafted up a concept for a website that would solve their problems – BibliCare. After BibliCare was created and Tony’s counseling ministry was finally running smoothly, Bob realized that other biblical counselors were likely having the same management problems that Tony had.
Today, our mission at BibliCare is to help biblical counselors spend less time managing their ministry and more time providing biblically-based counsel.
