W.R.A.P.
Wellness Recovery Action Plan By Mary Ellen Copland
It was developed by a group of people who have a lived
experience of mental health; people who were searching for
ways to resolve issues that had been troubling them for a long
time.
WRAP is a self-designed plan for staying well and for helping
you to feel better when you are not feeling well, to increase
personal responsibility, and to improve your quality of life.
WRAP involves listing your personal resources, your Wellness
Tools, and then using those resources to develop Action Plans to
use in specific situations which are determined by you. WRAP
is adaptable to any situation. WRAP also includes a Crisis Plan.
We can help you creating your own W.R.A.P. in a free ten week
course, call us for more information.
Alternatives to Suicide
Tuesdays 12:45-1:45
As a community we have found strength in coming together to
talk about many 'taboo' topics and to support one another in
our times of greatest distress. Our collective wisdom and
individual stories have taught us that the space to come
together in this way can be powerful and healing. It is out of
this work and learning that the Alternatives to Suicide
approach was born.
