About Stepped Care Solutions

We are a mission-driven company and the creators of SC2.0 - a transformative model that fundamentally reimagines mental health systems. We are dedicated to collaborating with organizations and communities to guide the design and implementation of accessible, flexible, culturally relevant, and high-quality mental health and wellness resources and services. Our team is globally recognized for their leadership in transforming mental health systems, their clinical expertise, and their proficiency in implementation science.

Our unique advantage stems from our deep knowledge and extensive experience in applying the SC2.0 model to complex system transformations. We challenge the usual mental health medical model by helping organizations develop person-centric systems focused on empowerment and decision-making control for service users.

We embrace a holistic and synergistic approach to mental health care, acknowledging the abundance of healing resources that lead to access, equity, and flexibility in mental health systems. We believe in the importance of incorporating informal services and peer support, valuing a diverse range of expertise to create a comprehensive and effective system.

At Stepped Care Solutions, our actions are shaped by three core values that drive us toward our vision of Wellbeing Everywhere:

Mission First - We commit to prioritizing the SCS mission, while embracing challenges and constantly improving our processes. Our team stays updated with best practices, ensuring efficient and effective support for colleagues and clients. Better Together - We recognize the power of collaboration and value diverse ideas and perspectives. Our team checks in with one another, offers assistance, and provides direct, gracious feedback, appreciating each member's strengths and contributions. Context Matters - We understand the importance of considering the bigger picture and contextual backdrop for informed decision-making. Our team adopts a holistic approach, going beyond isolated details, to consider the broad impact of our choices.
