Who can create a WRAP?
Anyone can create a WRAP no matter what their background or experiences, as they are about maintaining wellbeing. However, someone experiencing, or who has experienced mental distress, may find this to be a useful tool, which helps them understand;
- what keeps them well
- what their triggers are
- what they would like to happen in a crisis.
It can give someone a sense of control and empowerment.
How can someone access support to create his or her own WRAP?
Some mental health services already provide support for people to put together a WRAP. However, Rochdale Mind offers training and support for people who are interested in putting together a workable WRAP from a service user perspective. Support can be provided by:
- One to one peer support from someone who has written a WRAP
- Structured sessions delivered by experienced service users.
We also provide information and training to carers and professionals who would like to support a person to create their own WRAP.
Do you need any particular skills to create a WRAP?
No, because we aim to provide a safe and supportive space where people can experiment, using whatever design, method and medium they choose.
- Audio-speaking and using a dictaphone
- Visual-through art media and photography
- Written or typed
Are you still not sure?
