What is CP-Achieve?
CP-Achieve was a five-year research program dedicated to improving the health, wellbeing, and life outcomes of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP), aged 10-30 years.
The program aimed to generate high-quality evidence to support young people with CP to achieve good health, access healthcare, form relationships, participate in education and employment, engage in physical activity and recreation, and contribute to their communities.
Meaningful consumer involvement was a core part of CP-Achieve’s approach. The program captured its experiences in a dedicated resource: Navigating consumer involvement in health and disability research. This resource aims to support, strengthen, and inspire consumer partnerships across the sector.
The key outcomes of CP-ACHIEVE:
- Completion of a wide range of research projects and funding secured to continue key projects
- Stronger evidence generated across a range of priority areas identified by young people with CP and their families
- Targeted research focusing on adolescents and young adults with CP
- Meaningful consumer involvement and partnerships
- A new generation of researchers trained and equipped with the skills to continue advancing research in CP
