Turning Point IAPT model - RightSteps 

 

The RightSteps Model

RightSteps is Turning Point’s customised IAPT delivery model – an outcome-focused service delivering integrated mental health provision and case management.

Turning Point has the clinical expertise to deliver all components of the IAPT pathway, and our RightSteps case management tool ensures full compliance with IAPT reporting criteria, whilst being adaptable to local commissioner requirements.

The innovative model includes:

  • Support to de-stigmatise mental health treatment
  • Well-being coordinators (low intensity workers)
  • A customised case management tool
  • Flexible intervention methodologies
  • Tailored support
  • Holistic care packages
  • Wraparound provision

Who is RightSteps for?

The RightSteps service supports people experiencing any deterioration in their ability to cope and who may be suffering from any common mental illness such as depression, anxiety or phobias etc.

Lower level interventions not only prevent expensive specialist input but also prevent further deterioration in an individual’s mental well-being.

How will RightSteps enhance local provision?

RightSteps is a flexible model, designed to be delivered in close collaboration with Mental and Community Health Trust, support agencies, voluntary organisations and service users.

We adopt an outreach approach to delivery, providing services across a range of community locations, offering out of hours support which complements existing provision.

Wraparound services

A key feature of our RightSteps service is the sub-contracting of local voluntary sector organisations who deliver a range of wraparound services within the IAPT umbrella.

We have developed the RightSteps Community Capacity Model.  (See diagram left)

By placing IAPT provision at the heart of community-based services we ensure that RightSteps offers added-value to IAPT provision, focused on the needs of individual service users rather than the diagnosis of a mental health condition.
