It’s a WRAP!
Six of Hopewell’s residents recently completed a WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) program at Hopewell. This is a six-week, two-hour Saturday course sponsored through NAM (National Alliance on Mental Illness.) It was founded and developed by Mary Ellen Copeland, a speaker on recovery and self-help and the author of many books related to recovery.
This program is designed to help individuals work on aspects of their mental health recovery including identifying triggers, developing a crisis plan, recognizing early warning signs, daily maintenance plans and preparing a wellness toolbox. In the toolbox is a list of things they created to help them stay well as they transition back into the community.
These residents now will have a notebook to remind them of ways to increase their mental, physical and spiritual wellness. On July 30th the Hopewell community recognized the six residents with this special cake.
Congratulations!
