Goals are also discussed in our Advanced Help guide for supervisors, which has less of a step-by-step emphasis and is more focused on teaching you to get the most out of FAS Outcomes and leveraging the system to optimize client outcomes. If you'd like to read about selecting goals in the Advanced Help guide, click here.
