WRAP

WRAP is a tool that can aid an individual's recovery and its underpinning principles seeks to look at mental health matters using a wellness model rather than the traditional illness model. WRAP is a systematic tool that empowers an individual to monitor their wellness at times when they know they are well, during times when they may be feeling less well, to times when their experiences are uncomfortable and distressing. The tool is also used to incorporate details of how an individual would like others to support them at these different times. Our WRAP related services include:

• WRAP in Nursing Homes
• WRAP and sports psychology
• WRAP in corporate organisations

Retreats

Retreats are provided periodically in high quality environments allowing participants to chill out, switch off from the stress of everyday life and leave feeling relaxed and full of renewed energy. Our aim is to offer at different times themed retreats tackling issues to do with families, couples, women, men and youth.
