Q.) What is Peer Support and W.R.A.P. (Wellness Recovery Action Plan)?

A.) Peer Support is about having relationships with others in new and different ways that promote growth, recovery and wellness. WRAP is about living in new and different ways that promote growth, recovery and wellness. By combining the two, the skills and strategies that we discover in peer support can become part of our WRAP and the skills and strategies we discover as we learn about and use W.R.A.P. to assist us in peer Support.

The combination of W.R.A.P. and Peer Support can be very powerful in helping us grow, learn from each other, and challenge each other beyond what we thought we were capable of. Using some of the peer support theory, we can begin to use W.R.A.P. to help each other discover the context within which we've learned about ourselves, and then help each other develop plans that build a new "story". ~ Shery Mead
