Single Session Interventions: Revolutionizing Mental Health Care

Single Session Interventions (SSIs) are structured programs that aim to yield positive change in just one encounter with a provider or program. They challenge the notion that more treatment is always better and can be offered as standalone or add-on services to existing care. SSIs are scalable, flexible, and can be therapist-led or self-guided, making them accessible and bridging gaps in treatment systems. SSIs focus on clients' existing strengths, helping them bring about change one step at a time. Research shows that SSIs have significantly reduced mental health difficulties for youth and adults, and digital SSIs have reached over 50,000 individuals in need.
