Stepped Care Mental Health Programs vary from person to person and consist of several steps, each offering different levels of support and intervention based on your primary mental health concerns.

The evidence-based program may include:

• Self-Help and Psychoeducation: This is the lowest-intensity level of support and may involve providing educational materials, self-help resources, and information about mental illness. It empowers individuals to better understand their mental health and develop self-management skills.

• Digital and Online Resources: Many Stepped Care Models incorporate digital platforms and online resources, like websites, apps, or virtual support groups, to provide accessible and convenient mental health information and tools.

• Counselling and Therapy Services: This level typically includes individual or group therapy sessions provided by mental health professionals like psychologists, counsellors, or social workers. These services can address various mental health issues and provide more targeted treatment in a highly supportive environment.

• Specialised Mental Health Services: Some individuals may require specialised care, like treatment for mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Specialised services may include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and more intensive interventions.

• Crisis Intervention and Inpatient Care: At the highest level, individuals in severe crisis or with acute mental health needs may require hospitalisation or crisis intervention services. These services are designed to stabilise individuals in crisis and ensure their safety.

• Peer Support and Community Resources: Peer support groups, community organisations, and non-profit mental health agencies can play a vital role in providing emotional support, sharing lived experiences, and helping individuals connect with local resources.

• Case Management and Care Coordination: In some Stepped Care Models, case managers or care coordinators work with individuals to navigate the mental health system, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of care and support throughout their journey.

• Cultural and Linguistic Considerations: Our services are culturally sensitive and consider linguistic diversity to provide equitable care to all individuals, regardless of their cultural or language background.

• Regular Assessment and Reevaluation: The model emphasises ongoing assessment and reevaluation of an individual's needs. As their mental health situation evolves, they may move between different levels of care to receive the most suitable support.
