WRAP – Key Concepts
Hope
Personal Responsibility
Education
Self Advocacy
Support
WRAP itself built around a set of recovery values, developed in early 1990’s when recovery as a concept was taking off in America..
And which for WRAP we encourage facilitators should become be very personal values:
No limits to recovery etc.
 WRAP promotes self-determination, personal responsibility, empowerment, and self-advocacy.
WRAP workshops are we facilitate and share experiences, we try and role model these values...encouraging empowerment...it is a peer to peer process.
Reference the Bill of Rights.
much about rights flowing from increasing feelings of empowerment. Encouraging you to take responsibility for your own wellbeing.

8. CHIME framework
Pun This experience of recovery has been explored in a systematic review of the literature around the experience of recovery – which has been very powerfully backed up by our own evidence in Scotland. This identifies five key, essential processes of personal recovery. Giving the acronym CHIME (Leamy et al., 2011.
WRAP KEY concepts encompass the five elements of this framework
Connectedness – building your support network – my experience
Hope and recovery
Identity – becoming more than just a diagnosis.
Education learning about yourself and what you can do to empower yourself.
All but in particular personal responsibility are at the heart of Identity Meaning and purpose and empowerment.
This Is about the power of lived experience as expressed, shared, showcased if you like in group settings!!!!
Growing and developing understanding.

10. SRN and WRAP QA system
Encourage and supports people to empower themselves and participate in the group.
Supported group to name the group agreement-created ownership of the document for the group.
“Others can’t do WRAP for you.” Clearly sharing the values and ethics
Effectively manage difficult conversations that could lead to conflict.
Because of the supportive and welcoming atmosphere that both facilitators clearly worked hard to create, there was no apparent conflict. They may well have managed difficult conversations but this was done so beautifully that there was nothing obvious externally.
Reacts to difficult feelings and behaviours with compassion and support
J was able to support the group and his co-facilitator after A’s powerful personal introduction. He moved the group forward whilst still celebrating the depth of emotion held in the group
About How facilitators can support the process of a group environment based on complete equality in the group. The values and the key concepts within the group
And this process is based on a mentoring relationship with one of the training facilitators before during and after the training.

11. The power of recovery in a group
“…people who had the same experiences and have been through the same things… we always knew what somebody else was talking about and that was really quite, a new and very useful experience really”
“(The facilitators) were just excellent! ... been through it themselves and were able to share with us elements of their WRAP and how it worked for them when they were illustrating the work. So it didn’t become just a paper exercise, it became a real living thing for us.”
These quotations from Re-mode study demonstrate that people value the group experience based around the Values of WRAP
ReMode –entitled A feasibility study for a trial of recovery versus mindfulness models for depression (ReMoD partnership led by Stirling Uni and includes SRN Action on Depression and others
Finish with personal example of Living WRAP.
