Involvement in the community not only creates opportunities for personal contribution, but it opens the door for new experiences, friendships, and interests. CPS and our Adult Training Facilities help to develop skills and competencies necessary for community inclusion. Building natural, organic support systems and social networks helps to increase independence and promote self-reliance.

​

The wide variety of activities both within the facility and out in the community assist with engagement and provide each individual with the opportunity to identify strengths, abilities, preferences, and support needs. These insights can lead to ideas for additional activities, volunteer opportunities the identification of potential job matches or career paths for individuals who are not currently employed. 

​

Within our facility, there are opportunities to learn and develop an array of life skills such as food safety, meal prep, money management, health and wellness, personal hygiene, current events and news, socialization skills, assertiveness, problem solving, communication and decision-making, computer skills, and more.
