SRN continue to regard the promotion of Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) as a key part of our efforts to share ideas and approaches to better promote recovery. The WRAP Facilitators who we trained last year are now working throughout Scotland. Their work in delivering WRAP to people with mental health problems, and in raising the awareness of the tool has stirred up a huge level of interest. As a result there has been an increasing demand for more Facilitators to deliver WRAP in a group setting. As a response to this demand, between now and the end of the year, we will be training more WRAP Facilitators with two sets of training. We will also be adding to the limited amount of research evidence about WRAP and have commissioned The Scottish Centre for Social Research and Edinburgh University to lead a wide ranging evaluation of the use of WRAP in self help groups. The final evaluation report will be ready by the summer of 2010. SRN has a continued commitment is to ensure WRAP training is of the highest quality, delivered in a group setting, and faithful to the principles of WRAP. Read more about WRAP |
