3 CPS Course Self-Assessment These questions are meant to assist you in deciding about participating in the CPS course. These questions address the knowledge foundation and supports that have contributed to success in the class for past CPS participants. This is for your use alone and does not have to be submitted with your application. However, it MUST be completed, as you will be asked about your experience with the self-assessment in the actual CPS application Circle One 1 I have easy access to transportation to get to and from classes. Yes No 2 I have taken and completed formal schooling, adult education classes, or a GED or High School Equivalency program in the last 5 years. 3 I make the final decisions about my treatment choices. Yes No 4 I have successfully worked in the last 5 years. Yes No 5 I have read articles by Pat Deegan, Judi Chamberlin and other peer leaders. Yes No 6 I am active in my local Recovery Learning Community. Yes No 7 I have completed a Peer Facilitator/Mentor Course. Yes No 8 I get the majority of my support from my friends and family. Yes No 9 I have a personal wellness plan. Yes No 10 I feel ready to be an actively involved in a class that includes individual and group participation. 11 I am able to be away from my home for a three-day retreat.

Yes No Scoring: Enter the number of questions (Q1 Q 10) you marked yes (Score A) Enter the number of questions (Q11 Q 20) you marked yes X 2 = (Score B) Add Score A and Score B to get your Total Score = CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No No 3
4 What your Total Score means: If you scored Below 15 Then you are Well-prepared! You have a solid foundation in place to support your participation in the CPS course. Probably ready to start the CPS course. While not as strong a foundation as possible, you have the basics to support your participation. You may have trouble completing the CPS course without additional support/education. Participation in the CPS course will present you with a significant learning curve, as you may need to learn a variety of skills needed to be successful. You might not be ready to start the CPS course at this time. Participation may require you to learn many new skills while also exploring a whole new framework for your past experiences. While you are still welcome to apply for the CPS course at this time, if you think you are ready, you may want to consider building a stronger foundation and applying for a later class. Suggested ways to strengthen your foundation are listed below. The guide above is only a general guide. This survey has not been tested to determine whether these scores really do predict completion. However, the survey items were selected based on factors that have contributed to the success or difficulties of past CPS course participants. If you would like to strengthen your foundation in order to be better prepared for the CPS course, review the questions where you answered no, and develop a personal plan that will help you change those answers to yes. Here are some specific strategies that may be helpful: Participate in your local Recovery Learning Community (RLC). Information can be found at Learn more about peer work and peer supports on the Internet. Get involved in a peer support group. Read first-person stories of recovery by people such as Pat Deegan, Judi Chamberlin, Dan Fisher and Others.
