What is WRAP?

WRAP is a structured system designed for "people who have been dealing with a variety of
psychiatric symptoms for many years and are working hard to feel better and get on with their lives.
  It has eight distinct parts of its program."  Please sign up for WRAP 1 before WRAP 2, etc.
  The WRAP program was developed by Mary Ellen Copeland.
 

What about Dual Diagnosis?

WRAP also can be useful for those with dual diagnosis (both psychiatric symptoms and substance abuse symptoms).  Many people who struggle with an addiction also have issues with depression or low-self esteem.  By looking at the larger picture and planning a WRAP that addresses both situations, better results are possible.
 

How much will this cost me?

REACH doesn’t charge peers who want to take a WRAP class.  The sessions are paid for in part by a grant
from the State Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services.
 REACH does charge facilities who want to hire a facilitator to lead sessions at their facility,
but only with the understanding that the facility can’t turn around and charge the participants.
 

When and Where are WRAP Sessions held?

The Commonwealth of Virginia has seven regions as designated by the Department of Mental Health, Mental
Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services.  We have mirrored those regions for the regions of our WRAP sessions.
