Presentation Description: Participants will receive a basic overview of Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP®) and how to apply it in their personal lives. WRAP® is a personalized wellness and recovery system born out of and rooted in the principle of self-determination. WRAP® helps people to: 1) decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors; 2) increase personal empowerment; 3) improve quality of life; and 4) 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.

Objectives:

• Describe a basic understanding of Wellness Recovery Action Plan, WRAP®
• Identify the benefits of using WRAP®
• Discuss how to apply WRAP® in your personal life
• Discuss how WRAP® is for anyone, any time.
