Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP): Skills & Stories
Gina Calhoun struggled to find the right treatment and care when she was hospitalized for depression and anxiety - until she found WRAP.
A WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is designed by the client, for the client, in order to succeed beyond recovering from mental illness.
Gina will run an afternoon workshop at NAMI-NYC about what a WRAP is, as well as how to create and use your own WRAP. In the evening at The New School, Gina, her mother, and her sister, will share their stories about the difficulties accessing mental health treatment, as well as how they came to thrive today.
