WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan)
What is WRAP?
Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a simple and powerful process for creating the life and wellness you want. With WRAP, you can:
- Discover simple, safe, and effective tools to create and maintain wellness
- Develop an organized plan to identify stressors or triggers and how to use action planning to address these
- Develop a daily plan to stay on track with your life and wellness goals
- Identify what throws you off track and develop a plan to keep moving forward
- Gain support and stay in control even in a crisis
The WRAP process supports you to identify the tools that keep you well and create action plans to put them into practice in your everyday life. All along the way, WRAP helps you incorporate key recovery concepts and wellness tools into your plans and your life.Whatever your goals or challenges, WRAP can help you make a plan that really works, with results you can really see. For more than 20 years, people around the world have used WRAP to support their goals and transform their lives. How ever you define “wellness” for your situation, WRAP can help you achieve it, step by step, your way, and on your terms. WRAP can help you:
- Shape every aspect of your life the way you want it to be
- Gain freedom from troubling thoughts, behaviors, or patterns that repeat in your life
- Feel empowered in making decisions about your life
- Build a strong support network of people and resources to help you reach your goals
We offer WRAP Training Seminars to any employee interested in partaking.
Seminar I Retreat introduces participants to the five key concepts of WRAP, guides them in creating a personal WRAP, and offers those who complete the seminar a path to becoming a WRAP Facilitator. The basic framework is the same for each seminar, but the focus can be tailored to best fit diverse populations (such as veterans, youth/children, and families) and their life challenges, including addiction, trauma, healthy aging, developmental distinctions, justice involvement, and mental health. WRAP Seminar I is a 16-hour interactive workshop where facilitators guide participants through the evidenced based practice of WRAP through engaging in activities and group discussions.
Seminar II gives participants the skills, knowledge, and materials to facilitate WRAP seminars . Seminar II is only for those who have completed WRAP Seminar I. To become certified WRAP Facilitators, participants in Seminar II participate in interactive learning activities, learn how to facilitate the structure of WRAP, illustrate their personal experience with WRAP, and show understanding of WRAP ethics and values. Participants can lead WRAP Seminar I upon completing WRAP Seminar II. WRAP Seminar II is a 3-5-day seminar depending on the # of facilitator candidates.
All seminars are led by trained and certified WRAP Facilitators.
