The aim of Community Psychiatric Support and Treatment (CPST) is to provide our clients with goal-directed support and solution-focused intervention. We intended to achieve identified goals or objectives as outlined in the individual’s recovery plan. With CPST, we address specific individual needs with evidence-based and evidence-informed psychotherapeutic practices designed specifically to meet those needs. Positive Transformations Health Services mainly provides CPST face-to-face with the individual present; however, family or other persons significant to the individual may also be involved.
Here are examples of how CPST can benefit an individual:
- By assisting the individual, we can identify treatment options associated with their mental illness or substance abuse disorder. The goal is to minimize the negative symptoms, emotional disruptions, or other related environmental triggers that can interfere with their daily lives.
- We provide individual supportive counseling, solution-focused interventions, emotional and behavioral management support, and behavioral analysis. We seek to develop and implement skills that include social, interpersonal, self-care, daily living, and independent living skills to restore an individual’s stability, support their functional gains, and adapt to community living.
- Facilitate participation in and utilization of strengths-based planning and treatments, which include identifying strengths and needs, resources, and natural supports, and developing goals and objectives.
- Assist the individual with effectively responding to or avoiding triggers, identifying crises, and developing a crisis management plan.
