NAMI West Central Indiana offers a free Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) class. The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP®) is a personalized wellness and recovery system born out of and rooted in the principle of self-determination. WRAP® is a wellness and recovery approach that helps people to 1) decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors; 2) increase personal empowerment; 3) improve quality of life; and 4) achieve their life goals and dreams. Working with a WRAP® can help individuals to monitor uncomfortable and distressing feelings and behaviors and, through planned responses, reduce, modify, or eliminate those feelings. A WRAP® also includes plans for responses from others when an individual cannot make decisions, take care of themself, and keep themself safe. The following free class is on June 10th from 9 am to 1 pm at the NAMI West Central Indiana office, 615 North 18th Street, Suite 104, Lafayette, IN 47904. To register, please contact Joy at jmabbitt@nami-wci.org or call 765-423-6939.
