WRAP for Support Group Facilitators

Facilitating support groups is incredibly rewarding and meaningful work, but it can also be stressful at times. Are you looking for ways to stay well and stay on course with your wellness while facilitating your support group(s)? Then this is the workshop for you!

What is WRAP?

The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP®) is a personalized wellness and recovery system born out of and rooted in the principle of self-determination. WRAP® is a wellness and recovery approach that helps people to:

  • decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors
  • increase personal empowerment
  • improve quality of life
  • achieve their own life goals and dreams. Working with a WRAP® can help individuals to monitor uncomfortable and distressing feelings and behaviors and, through planned responses, reduce, modify, or eliminate those feelings. A WRAP® also includes plans for responses from others when an individual cannot make decisions, take care of him/herself, and/or keep him/herself safe.

This is a 2-part series. You must attend both days to get a certificate of completion.
