Manx Care team learns about Wellness and Recovery Action Planning
Manx Care's Integrated Mental Health Service has completed its Wellness and Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) training.
It means the service will be able to offer facilitator training on-Island.
WRAP is a 'personalised practical framework that assists in developing an effective approach to overcoming distressing symptoms and unhelpful behaviour patterns'.
It is an evidence-based personalised recovery plan that was developed over 25 years ago by Mary Ellen Copeland.
The seven trainees included colleagues from Manannan Court, the Community Mental Health Service for Adults (CMHSA), the Older Persons Mental Health Service (OPMHS) and Experts by Experience, all of whom had previously completed their Level 1 WRAP training. These new facilitators can now provide WRAP Level 1 themselves.
WRAP courses are currently available through Recovery College, and once this programme is established there are plans to expand access to the programme in the near future, for example to colleagues across Manx Care.
