Which core value underpins CPS practice, emphasizing hope, empowerment, and collaborative goal setting?
Correct Answer:
Recovery-oriented approach
Explanation:
Recovery-oriented approach is the best fit because CPS practice centers on hope, empowerment, and collaborative goal setting. It treats recovery as a shared journey where peers bring lived experience to support self-direction, validate strengths, and help individuals set and pursue their own goals with a sense of ownership. The other options don’t align with how CPS work is designed to help people: the medical model focuses on diagnosis and clinician-led decisions; paternalistic control places decisions with others rather than the person receiving support; and focusing only on individual therapy excludes the peer support, community connections, and collaborative planning that are central to recovery.
