WALKING LIFE WITH YOU
Community Psychiatric Support (CPST)
CPST is a case management program for children and adults. CPST provides services in our office, your home, community and school. The goal of CPST is to assist our clients in becoming as independent as possible. CPST encourages personal responsibility and development of skills to help the client take control of his or her life, rather than depending upon systems and agencies. We believe in a workable partnership between the client, our behavioral health workers and the community. We are strength-based and believe that the development of a positive self-image and a stable living situation is critical to long-term symptom management and personal happiness. CPST can be utilized by counselors of no REACH agencies, as a supportive service. We will walk life with your clients, helping them identify triggers, implement taught skills and organize thoughts.
