WRAP training

WRAP stands for: Wellness Recovery Action Plan and comes from America. It is a recovery method that helps you to regain control of your life if it has been disrupted by major events.

You can follow WRAP in the form of a course, together with other students you will get to work step by step. Every step is taken to reflect and ideas are exchanged. These steps are recorded in a first version, which the student can continue to work with. EVA offers the WRAP in a group of 8-10 people, who meet 10 times every week. Two group leaders with experience will assist you.

The course focuses on strength instead of complaint by starting from hope, personal responsibility, personal development, standing up for yourself and giving and receiving support. These are key concepts of recovery. So the plan is based on what does you good.

Working on the WRAP in a group has great added value. Together you draw up rules and together you create a safe environment. By exchanging experiences in groups, you learn from each other. Together you come up with wonderful ideas that can be incorporated into your life. The experiences of others can also be supportive and inspiring.

Components of WRAP are:

• Tool case for a good feeling
• Daily maintenance
• Triggers and Action Plan
• Early warning signs and action plan
• Signs of Derailment and Action Plan
• Crisis plan
• Post-crisis plan
