Brief Action Planning is a self-management support approach to help people make action plans to address the aspects of their health or situation that are most important to them. It is practical and highly structured, and involves using an algorithm to guide someone step-by-step through deciding whether they want to make a plan, developing a SMART plan, assessing their confidence, problem-solving if necessary, and planning their follow-up. Each step of the process is carefully considered and is based on the literature and evolving understanding of what works and doesn’t work to help people change.
