Stepped care and Inspire
As an organisation focused on clinical best practice, Inspire follows the stepped care approach of service delivery. Stepped care is a clinically proven model used in health and care settings providing low, moderate and high intensity mental health and wellbeing support. It recognises that one model of service won’t fit the needs of everyone in your organisation all the time.
Life happens and when it does people need support. The stepped care model allows people to move through channels of support as their need for support changes, intensifies and reduces. Our blend of services mean that we can always provide the right support, at the right time.
