Every person’s journey is different. 🛤️

Amanda’s journey shows the power of community, courage, and the right support at the right time.

With the support of the Commonwealth Psychosocial Support (CPS) Program, Amanda was able to navigate the complex human services system, access the right services, and build the confidence to step outside her comfort zone and reconnect with her community.

💻 Read Amanda’s story and how the CPS Program is making a real difference at our website.
