We Reconcile. We Reform. We Restore.
We inspire people to reconcile and be at peace with themselves, with others, with their environment, and with their maker in order to fulfill their purpose in life.
We live in a world where unmet psycho-social, emotional, and human needs are on the rise. Many people are unhappy or dissatisfied with life. Intra and Inter-personal and social conflicts have become urgently rising issues that are damaging family structures, causing unquantifiable destruction to development, and spreading a cycle of violence in our society.
The complexity of life, loss, pain, hurt, greed, and grief are some of the identified reasons behind intra and interpersonal conflicts. Crises, stress together with poor coping mechanisms, fear, anger, anxiety and sometimes, depression are some factors that fuel irritations. These factors also blur the ability to understand, thereby contributing to a breakdown in the wellbeing of victims and triggering disputes and conflicts. These Intra and Interpersonal triggers require immediate attention.
Challenges at work, in leadership, socio-economic and political difficulties constitute some of the heart-breaking damages and agony caused by dysfunctions within the family. Children who are exposed to the cycle of conflict, grow up to become susceptible to being conflict prone adults. We are faced with a growing need for problem solving approaches historically unprecedented. We can see how people who are hurt (and still hurting), perpetuate the cycle of hurt, which is the root of several ills of our society. We are positioning ourselves to bring healing not only to individuals, but, to the society and support leaders in our time and also nurture the next generation of leaders especially in Africa.
We are a lead provider of Professional Counseling, Dispute and Conflict Resolution, and other life management services. We render these services through either individual or group counseling, mediation, and other alternative dispute and conflict resolution processes, research and training, and other customized workplace services and community outreaches.
We are a team of experts who provide professional counseling. We are concerned about reconciling mankind with his maker, himself, and his environment in order to reform his mind and ultimately restore him back to his full potential.
We help reconcile people after they have had intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts with themselves, their environment and their deeper relationships.
We reform people and bring them back to knowing themselves and their role and responsibility in interacting and integrating well into society.
We restore people back to their full potential to help promote peaceful coexistence in our society and to also make them ambassadors of reconciliation.
Over the years, CPR with its lead professionals, has worked to support individuals, families and children, communities, schools, leaders, churches, service providers, government and non-government institutions and organizations.
We give professional counseling and resolve family, domestic and corporate disputes. We train leaders, provide resources and materials for institutions. We also facilitate and design Counseling, Conflict and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) curricula for some tertiary institutions and professional organizations.
We serve institutions of higher learning such as the School of Law, University of Ghana; Pentecost University; University of Cape-Coast; University of Education, Winneba; Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre; the Officers Training College-Ghana Armed Forces and the Logos University, Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso.

Discover why we are known for providing professional counseling in Ghana. Our concern is how to reconcile, reform, and restore mankind back to his maker, himself, and his environment.
JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF GHANA
I have known Dr. Emmanuel Hopeson for more than a decade. He appears to me as an accomplished academic, a foremost gentleman with excellent interpersonal skills. He is a team player and is capable of building bridges between many people of different backgrounds due to his social skills in Professional Counseling, Psychology, Human behavior and Conflict resolution. He has also developed programs for higher educational institutions and professionals in the areas of his expertise.
In 2013, I was the Commandant at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Ghana, and I briefly met Dr. Emmanuel Hopeson as a guest at a PhD graduation and appreciation ceremony of one of my staff members. Later that year, the Director of Training at the time, Col Edwin Adjei (Rtd), informed me about a new course in Information Counselling and Referral Services (ICRS) in Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR). The Centre consulted with Dr. Emmanuel Hopeson to help develop the module for training the National Heads and Security Directors in the West African Region. He gladly took up the offer and even delivered beyond our expectations.

When I first read some portions of the programs he had developed, I was honestly impressed by his unique approach to distilling complex theory into self-taught modules that students, practitioners and lay people can easily understand, appreciate and apply. Consequently, he became the sole facilitator of the ACR program and was highly commended by both students and faculty for his captivating delivery mode and human relation skills.
I write as one of the people who has worked with Dr. Emmanuel Hopeson for a number of years as the Dean of the School of Law, University of Ghana, where he currently serves as a Guest Lecturer in the LLM Alternative Dispute Resolution Department. Dr. Hopeson is an exemplary scholar of reputable character and has sound leadership skills.
Dr. Hopeson was a contributor at a training session at the Ghana Arbitration Centre where we first met. I found him to be a perceptive young man with good academic credentials and working experience in the United States and Canada. I later took interest in him because of his passion to serve.
