Activities provided under CPST are intended to assist the child/youth and family caregivers to achieve stability and functional improvement in daily living, personal recovery and/or resilience, family and interpersonal relationships in school and community integration.

PSR is intended to foster and promote the development of needed skills identified in assessment or through the ongoing treatment of a licensed practitioner.
