recovery.
It can be used:
• On its own or to supplement mental
health services
• For prevention and management

Values and Ethics
There is hope, people can and do get well,
stay well for long periods of time, and do
what they want to do with their lives.
Self determination, personal responsibility,
empowerment, and self-advocacy are keys
to mental health recovery and WRAP.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
Decisions about care and life are made by
the person whose life it is and, only if
necessary, by those people who have been
identified by this person as their proxy.
Every person is treated as an equal with
dignity, compassion, mutual respect, and
unconditional high regard at all times.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
There is unconditional acceptance of each
person as they are, unique, special
individuals, including acceptance of diversity
with relation to culture, ethnicity, language,
religion, race, gender, age, disability, sexual
preference, and "readiness" issues.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
All efforts are based on the premise that
there are no limits to recovery.
All participation in programs, activities and
initiatives is voluntary.
It is understood that each person is the
expert on her or himself.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
The focus is on individual strengths and
away from perceived deficits.
Clinical, medical and diagnostic language is
not helpful and is avoided.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
The focus is on people working together
and learning from each other to increase
mutual understanding, knowledge and
promote wellness.
Programs and initiatives emphasize
strategies that are simple and safe for
anyone, and avoid those that may have
harmful effects.
1
Values and Ethics (cont.)
Difficult feelings and behaviors are seen as
normal responses to traumatic
circumstances and in the context of what is
happening and not as "symptoms" or a
"diagnosis".
People are encouraged, supported and
validated in sharing their thoughts, feelings,
needs and experiences.

Research Findings
that Support WRAP
Initial Outcomes of a Mental Illness Self-Management
program Based on Wellness Recovery Action Planning (at
the University of Illinois at Chicago)
Cook, J., Copeland, M.E., Hamilton, M., Jonikas, J.,
Razzano, L., Floyd, C., Hudson, W., MacFarland, R, and
Grey, D.
Published in Psychiatric Services: A Journal of the American
Psychiatric Association, February, 2009 pp. 246-249.
1
Research Findings (cont.)
Objective:
Examine changes in psychosocial
outcomes among participants in an
8-week peer led, WRAP intervention.
1
Research Findings (cont.)
Methods:
80 people with serious mental illness
at 5 sites completed telephone interviews
at baseline, and one month after the
intervention.
1
Research Findings (cont.)
Results:
Significant improvement in self-reported
symptoms, recovery, hopefulness, selfadvocacy and physical health.
Those attending 6 or more sessions showed
greater improvement than those attending
fewer sessions.
1
Research Findings (cont.)
Conclusions:
Further research is needed.
Confirmation of the efficacy and effectiveness of peer-led self-management has
the potential to enhance self-determination
and promote recovery for people with
psychiatric disabilities.
