WRAP provides people who are struggling with personal difficulties and stress with “wellness tools” to help them regain and maintain control of their lives. The course helps people to identify triggers and early warning signs so that they can be proactive and avoid crises.
The course also helps people develop healthy habits and techniques such as communicating with friends and supporters, peer counseling, focusing exercises, relaxation and stress reduction techniques, journaling, and engaging in positive activities. A person’s wellness toolkit also includes exercise, diet, and adequate rest.
The program is designed to be used by both individuals and families including teens, adults, and seniors. Key concepts taught are hope, personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy, and support.
