WRAP . . . It Ain’t Just “Hip Hop” Anymore!

Recently, along with twenty of my new best friends, I was introduced to a wonderful new tool to aid in my recovery called WRAP. The word itself is an acronym which stands for Wellness Recovery Action Plan and it’s the most exciting new tool I’ve ever used. More than “exciting” the tool is “empowering” and allows one to be proactive and “self-manage” their recovery process. The concept is the “brainchild” of Mary Ellen Copeland, PhD and is explained in great detail in her book with the same title (you can visit her website under “Links for Recovery” located in the right hand sidebar of this blog).

If you’re familiar with the book or know someone who has been using WRAP in their recovery process, please share your thoughts about how useful or disappointing it may have been.
