The Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery
I just wanted to thank you all for the great training experience. I learned SO MUCH! It never ceases to amaze me every time I re-discover how rich this material is and how wonderful the people are who network it.
The Copeland Center teaches recovery concepts, skills, and strategies to people who experience mental health challenges, their supporters and care providers, mental health agencies, treatment facilities, and organizations as well as local, regional, state, and national mental health system all under the direction of Matthew Federici, Executive Director.
The programs are based on the studies of Mary Ellen Copeland and thousands of people who have shared information about their recovery so that it would benefit others.
Through training and education, the Copeland Center spreads the WRAP story, transforming lives, programs, and mental health services and systems to individuals and organizations around the world. WRAP and their other mental health recovery programs are complementary to all treatments and adaptable for many other uses such as substance abuse, jail diversion, veterans and people in the military, adolescent issues and trauma. Training seminars are structured so that participants learn from and support each other in a safe atmosphere.
In addition to trainings, the Copeland Center has an expert pool of excellent speakers and consultants. The Copeland Center can also customize Mental Health Recovery and WRAP Seminars to meet your needs.
