The Self-Management Support (SMS) Action Plan Selection Guide helps behavioral health providers choose action plans that best meet the needs of their clients and their organization. Action planning is particularly useful for clients with mental illness, substance use conditions, and/or chronic physical health conditions.
The SMS Action Plan Selection Guide identifies core features of available action plans that may be useful to providers as they choose the appropriate action plan for their clients. In addition, the Selection Guide includes peer-reviewed evidence on the effectiveness of each action plan listed, as well as a list of additional resources to help providers better support the self-management of their clients.
