Stepped Care 2.0 © (SC2.0) is a transformative model for the delivery of mental health and addictions services. The person-centered, strengths-based approach provides rapid, same-day, flexible access to evidence-informed wellness and mental health services that are aligned with recovery principles. Because the failure to meet mental health needs comes at a high cost, SC2.0 offers people access to help at the point of need and the point of readiness. That is, SC2.0 is designed to meets peoples’ needs with the least intensive and most effective options, with shared benefits to the people accessing care and to the providers. How does it benefit clients? During their first engagement with the SC2.0 system, people receive an intervention to address their primary concern and are supported by a community of care. In the MHCC demonstration project, about 80% of clients reported that lower intensity options (such as e-mental health tools) met at least some of their needs. How does it benefit providers? SC2.0 not only gives providers more flexibility in their schedules, in the demonstration project, they saw SC2.0 as an effective, evidence-based way to help their practices evolve. Providers also reported much greater knowledge of the stages of change and self-efficacy to enact change. As steps increase in intensity, stakeholder investment (i.e., time, effort, and cost) and client readiness to engage also increase. Client autonomy is greatest in the lower steps and decreases in the higher steps.
