WRAP: Wellness Recovery Action Plan Workshop

WRAP: Wellness Recovery Action Plan Workshop

Lecture Hall, St. Patrick’s University Hospital, Dublin.

When:

28th and 29th November, 2013 / 5th and 6th December, 2013

This is a HSE funded workshop organised by AOTI and delivered by WRAP facilitators from St. Patrick’s University Hospital. Each workshop is two days. The workshop will be held twice.

The Wellness Recovery Action Plan®, or WRAP®, is an evidence-based system used world-wide by people who are dealing with mental health and other kinds of health challenges, and by those wishing to attain the highest possible level of wellness. It was developed by a group of people who have a lived experience of mental health difficulties. Through the use of self-help skills and strategies, WRAP allows people experiencing mental health difficulties to achieve levels of wellness, stability, and recovery they always hoped were possible (Copeland, 2013). This two day workshop will equip therapists with knowledge of WRAP and key principles which they can then apply to their practice with clients.
