Community Participation Services (CPS)

Our Community Participation Services (CPS) are designed to encourage individuals to engage in meaningful community activities. We focus on fostering inclusion and helping individuals build social connections that enhance their sense of belonging. Whether participating in local events, volunteering, or joining community groups, we create opportunities for personal growth and self-expression. Our team works closely with each individual to identify activities that match their interests and abilities, ensuring a fulfilling experience.

Through CPS, we aim to empower individuals to develop essential life skills and strengthen relationships with others. This service helps build confidence, independence, and a stronger sense of purpose. We support navigating community resources, attending social gatherings, and engaging in enjoyable, enriching activities.
