CPS program helps clients find their way back to the lives they love

The CPS Program connects clients with a non-clinical recovery coach who supports clients to identify and achieve their goals and reconnect to the things they love. The team provides one-on-one coaching and works in partnership with family members and carers (where possible).

Each session with the recovery coach is goal oriented in focus and delivered based on a personalised recovery plan.
