New project to promote Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) in Scotland
Scottish Recovery Network (SRN) have announced the launch of a project to promote the use of Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) in Scotland. WRAP was developed in the United States by Mary Ellen Copeland. It is a simple ‘self management’ tool which is now used in many countries around the world to help people who experience mental health problems better manage their wellbeing and recovery. It is designed to help people take more control of their recovery, to plan how to maintain wellness and reduce, and better manage, periods of illness. WRAP does not necessarily replace other treatments or supports but it can be used to complement them. (WellScotland)
