Long-term goals are objectives that a participant wants to achieve in the future. Long-term goals require time and planning. They are not something the participant can accomplish this week or even this year but are usually several years away.  It is important to know the participant\u2019s long-term goals in order to connect the short-term goals to their longer-term vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short-term goals are those that participants can accomplish within the program year and align with Program Outcomes<\/span>Definition<\/span>The actual results of planned efforts that a program undertakes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.

The process of setting short-term goals with participants is collaborative in nature; your role is to help them prioritize, or filter, their needs into clear and measurable goals.  One challenge is that participants often come in with many needs and concerns, and it can be difficult to filter down to just a few goals that can be accomplished with the support of your program. Another challenge is that sometimes participants don\u2019t realize how long a certain goal may take. Help participants speak their concerns by listening and then reflecting back what you are hearing in their own words. You are helping them to FILTER their challenges to the most pressing issues at hand so that you can help them choose a limited scope of goals in order to make accomplishing these goals more likely.<\/p>\n\n\n
