Wellness Recovery Action Planning is learning essential life skills of planning to stay well and planning recovery from crisis. It can be seen as an inoculation against many potential illnesses as it is an effective way of developing healthy lifestyles.
WRAP trainers are people who have recovered from crisis and continue to stay well being able to provide effective peer support for those just starting on such a journey.
WRAP courses are based on 5 principles of wellness and recovery.
Some diagnoses (mental or physical) can cause people to despair with medication to treat symptoms without help for essential lifestyle changes. Using WRAP, individuals gain/regain the belief that they are the most important factor determining their wellness, ensuring more effective recovery from current and future crisis.
WRAP can boost understanding for healthy people, whilst helping to relate with friends, relatives and work colleagues who may be suffering.
Participants are encouraged to work together to explore wellness recovery concepts on an on-going basis.

Common benefits of WRAP for individuals such as increased happiness are difficult to measure, yet we do know participants who had been out of work have gained the confidence to become fully active again.
This course is offered for people with; diagnosed mental health problems, suffering from stress but staying relatively well and those such as managers who may not feel much stress themselves but need a better understanding.
An introduction to the key concepts of Wellness Recovery & WRAP can be delivered as a talk, with some audience participation, in as little one hour. The maximum attending a Stop Paddling WRAP talk has been 60 at a Total Networking event. - see Testimonials
For a group where none of the audience would consider themselves to currently be in crisis, (perhaps a group of health professionals) a one day course is often appropriate. The ideal number for such a course with one facilitator is 12.
WRAP courses are most frequently delivered for people who have been suffering from extreme stress and/or mental illness over 2 full days. This option works very well with two facilitating and 16 participants.
Participants often choose to exchange contact details and continue to work together on their plans for months and years after this life-changing course.
