This question aligns with Domain III: Community Integration, which focuses on connecting individuals to community resources and natural supports to enhance integration and recovery. The CPRP Exam Blueprint emphasizes “incorporating natural supports, such as religious or community organizations, to promote normalized community participation.” Connecting residents to local religious congregations leverages community-based natural supports, aligning with psychiatric rehabilitation principles.
Option A: Encouraging connections to religious congregations reflects the principle of normalizing services and incorporating natural supports. Religious congregations are community-based resources that provide social, spiritual, and practical support, fostering integration in a normalized setting, which is a core tenet of psychiatric rehabilitation.
Option B: Accountability to individuals is important but not directly related to connecting residents to religious congregations, which focuses on community engagement rather than system oversight.
Option C: Building on assets and strengths is relevant but less specific to this scenario, as the focus is on connecting to external community supports rather than individual strengths.
Option D: Flexibility and coordination are systems-level principles but do not directly describe the act of leveraging natural supports like religious congregations.
