Care Programme Approach

The Care Programme Approach (CPA) is a framework used in mental health services in the UK to ensure individuals receive coordinated and comprehensive care. It involves assessing a person’s needs, creating a personalized care plan, and designating a key worker to oversee their support. The CPA emphasizes regular reviews and collaboration among healthcare professionals, the individual, and their family to monitor progress and adjust care as needed. The goal is to provide holistic support that enhances the individual's well-being and recovery, ensuring they receive the right help at the right time.
