Resources For Integrated Care

Self-Management Support (SMS) is a long-term, continuous process toward recovery involving the systematic provision of educational and supportive interventions by health care providers to improve clients’ skills in managing their own health issues. Goal setting through action plans, a key element of SMS, includes working with clients and their natural supports to formulate short-term objectives for their health and develop specific steps for crisis management. These podcasts, excerpted from a July 2017 webinar, explore how behavioral health organizations and providers can implement SMS with their clients specifically focusing on action planning.
