Single-session supportive therapy based approach

Single-session solution-focused therapy based approach

In the SSC, the interventionist first sets expectations, explaining that the session is a means of providing short-term support. The interventionist will then praise the participant for agreeing to receive support and introduce the Action Plan, which will guide the session's structure. The interventionist will then work with the participant to (1) identify a specific, modifiable issue they are facing; (2) use the "miracle question" to envision their ideal outcome where the problem is resolved, and rates their current proximity to that; (3) determine the "smallest possible step" they can take towards this outcome through a scaling exercise; and (4) develop a personalized action plan that leverage on their current resources to begin addressing the problem. Upon ending the SSC, the interventionist writes a personalized note to the participant, highlighting their strengths and expressing confidence in their ability to follow through.
