WRAP—Wellness Recovery Action Plan

WRAP is a self-management and recovery system developed by Mary Ellen Copeland, who lives with mental illness, and struggled to incorporate wellness strategies into her life.  WRAP is designed to:

· Decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors

· Increase personal empowerment

· Improve quality of life

· Assist people in achieving their own life goals and dreams.

 

WRAP is a structured system to monitor uncomfortable and distressing symptoms that can help you reduce, modify, or eliminate those symptoms by using planned responses.  This includes plans for how you want others to respond when symptoms have made it impossible for you to continue to make decisions, take care of yourself or keep yourself safe.

 

 

¨ A new free WRAP Class begins September 23, 2008 and runs through November 18, 2008.

¨ Please contact Deborah Amesbury at 303-744-1817 for more information about upcoming WRAP classes.
