SRN would like to invite expressions of interest to tender for a piece of research related to Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) in self help and mutual support groups. The research will assess the relevance, impact and effectiveness of WRAP as a tool for self management and wellness planning within pre-existing groups, where the possibilities for continued mutual support in the development of WRAPs can be explored. Contractors should demonstrate how much experience the potential research team have in carrying out research in the areas of recovery and in the wider mental health sphere, as well as in the potential methodologies to be used in the project. For more information see the Expression of Interest form. Expressions of interest should be returned by 5pm on Friday May 8th. |
