WRAP CLASS
The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) class is a framework with which you can develop an effective approach to overcoming distressing symptoms, and unhelpful behavior patterns. It is a tool with which you can get more control over your problems. WRAP was originally developed by Mary Ellen Copeland and a group of mental health service users who wanted to work on their own recovery - this is what they found worked for them. Developing your own WRAP will take time, it can be done alone, but many find it very valuable to have a supporter - someone they trust, and work on it together. For this class we will work on your WRAP in a group setting.
