Psychology & Wellness A Stepped Care approach to Mental Health
Stepped Care is a staged approach to the delivery of mental health services , comprising a hierarchy of interventions ; from the least to the most intensive .
In a stepped care approach , a person seeking support is connected to the services that meet their needs and as their needs change , the services change with them . It has the capacity for the individual to step up and step down to different levels of care as they move along the path to recovery . This is fundamental to a person-centered approach to mental health care
