From a WRAP Facilitator and Program Director
I can't tell you enough how much WRAP has meant to persons in my area. our group of 21 facilitators who were trained in March have provided WRAP training to about 200 people. We are still conducting trainings and have more planned. It seems that we have been able to adapt the trainings to fit audiences and time frames that are available. Sometimes the trainings are 1 1/2 hours a week over 8 weeks. Sometimes they are one-to-one over five days while on a crisis unit. One of our favorites has been to do the traiing over two days for 4 hours each day. I presented a short introduciton to WRAP for alcohol and substance abuse counselors recently and they were very excited adn wanted to learn more.
This work has given such hope and power to so many. When I am teaching and there are persons in the audience with lived experience, I see it in their eyes, the "finally someting makes sense and I can really use" look. One of our trainers shared that a lady came up to her recently after participating in training over a number of weeks and shared that she had been receiving different forms of therapy for 30 years and WRAP was the first thing that had really helped her.
