Developed in Canada by Dr. Peter Cornish, the person-centred approach organizes and delivers evidence-based programming aligned with recovery principles. SC2.0 improves equitable access to a variety of wellness and mental health resources. Its framework enables the appropriate distribution of timely and accessible care, including the flexibility to meet people\u2019s wide-ranging needs and preferences. In doing so, the model aims to find the right balance between wellness promotion, illness prevention, treatment intensity, and risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the Stepped Care in the U.K., SC2.0 was first implemented as a campus mental health framework at Memorial University. It was then scaled up provincially in Newfoundland and Labrador through a Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) demonstration project in Newfoundland and Labrador which showed the model contributed to a 68%<strong> reduction in wait times and was well received by both clients and providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SC2.0 is now being implemented in other provinces and territories through an MHCC partnership with Stepped Care Solutions, which provides support on SC2.0 implementation, training\/consultation, project management, evaluation, and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This resource was published in 2021.
