Croydon Community Opportunities Service (COS) is for people, aged
18-65, who have severe and ongoing mental health problems. They care
for people who live in the London Borough of Croydon.
They provide a range of day and employment related opportunities to
help people lead a more active life in their communities.
People eligible for our service must be on the Care Programme Approach
(CPA). The CPA is a way of describing what you need in order to get
the best care. It is for patients who need to see several people or
organisations for their mental health care and treatment.
They work closely with people, their carers and care co-ordinators
to set goals that reflect personal needs and aspirations. We achieve
this through individual and group work in the community, in mental
health services and in peoples’ homes.
