## Measurement-based Care (MBC)

 

MBC is the practice of routinely gathering structured information about how a young person is doing, and using that information to guide care decisions.

MBC uses validated tools, like forms and questionnaires, to:

- Track symptoms and functioning over time
- Make progress visible
- Invite young people into clear, focused conversations about what's working and what isn't
