The Wellness Recovery Action Plan® (WRAP®) is an evidence-based wellness program that is rooted in the principle of self-determination. It's about what people can do for themselves and how they can build and maintain support from others to improve their health.

This two day workshop will be held on Friday March 9th and Friday March 16th from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Participants should commit to attending both days in full.

Who should use WRAP®?

WRAP® was originally designed by and for people with mental health conditions, but it is now used in a variety of settings and for many different health challenges. WRAP® is for anyone who is interested in feeling empowered and supported in improving their health and well-being.

What will I learn in WRAP®?

All WRAP® participants end with a highly personalized wellness plan that includes:

• A list of resources to use to keep yourself well (a wellness toolbox)
• A plan for keeping yourself well from day to day
• A series of action plans for when things aren't going your way, you're starting to feel unwell, or you need some extra support
• Plans for what you'll do if you go into crisis

Why should I go to a workshop to learn that?

The peer-to-peer learning that happens in a WRAP® workshop is really what makes it special. You'll be supported by people in circumstances similar to your own, and you'll get some great ideas for things you might want to include in your own WRAP®. We also teach in the context of key recovery concepts like hope, self-advocacy, and support, which may be more difficult to learn on your own.

Why is it two full days long?

People who complete the full 13-hour workshop are eligible to move on to WRAP® Facilitator Training. If you like WRAP® and want to teach it to others, you'll already have the prerequisite hours you need to enroll in the facilitator class!

Is there anything else I need to bring or buy?

We'll provide the WRAP® materials, paper, writing utensils, and anything else you need to complete the group learning activites. You'll need to bring a lunch or some money to buy lunch somewhere nearby.

Wait, I have more questions!
