Community Participation Supports (CPS)
​Includes community-based, facility-based, and vocational training programs
Community Participation Supports (CPS) aims to support individuals with disabilities - not only to integrate within their communities, but to promote inclusion. Regardless of ability, everyone has a right to be active and accepted in their community.
to achieve this, HRC Focuses on:
Socialization
We support individuals with developing social skills. This could be anything from how to express yourself to people you are familiar or unfamiliar with, appropriate boundaries, what to do when you’re feeling uncomfortable in a social setting, etc.
Employment
Though we understand employment may not be the first priority for every individual that participates in CPS, we do provide vocational support within this program as Pennsylvania is an "employment first" state.
We support individuals with the development of career goals and professionalism, while supporting competitive employment. We also offer many volunteer opportunities within the community.
​
Daily Living Skills
We support individuals as they learn the skills necessary to live as independently as they can. These skills include cooking, housework, handling finances, hygiene, etc.
As an agency that works closely with the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP), we embrace their Everyday Lives: Values in Action standard.
​
1. We value what is important to people with disabilities and their families, who are striving for an everyday life.
​
2. People with disabilities have a right to an everyday life; a life that is no different than that of all other citizens.

There is a difference between integration and inclusion. It's important to know that difference if we want to create a more inclusive society.
​
At HRC, we believe inclusion is a universal human right. That each individual is afforded the same rights, accessibility and choices as everyone else in their community.
