Understand the person
Look beyond a diagnosis to experiences, identity, and everyday challenges.
Healing Beyond Diagnosis Initiative
Support that begins with understanding.
STEPH is a structured, compassionate approach to identifying what has changed, what is working, and what kind of support could help someone move forward.
Recognize support needs
Consider emotional recovery, practical barriers, and participation.
Plan meaningful next steps
Use the assessment as the beginning of a conversation, not a label.
