A CPS should support service choices by which approach?

• A. Provide information, support decision-making, respect choices, and avoid coercion
• B. Make the final decision
• C. Coerce to ensure compliance
• D. Delay decisions indefinitely

Answer: (A)

Supporting service choices means helping the person make decisions in a way that respects their voice and control. A CPS provides clear, understandable information about options and potential outcomes, then supports the person as they weigh those options and decide what fits their goals. The focus is on the person’s preferences, values, and rights, not on steering them toward a single path. Coercion undermines trust, autonomy, and recovery, so it’s not appropriate. Delaying decisions indefinitely stalls progress and deprives the person of becoming an active partner in their own care. By offering information, guiding decision-making, honoring the chosen path, and avoiding pressure, a CPS promotes empowerment and collaboration in service planning.
