How can having a WRAP benefit an RSS?

Having a WRAP, or Wellness Recovery Action Plan, benefits a Recovery Support Specialist (RSS) primarily by highlighting stressors and supports for both the RSS and the client. The WRAP is a personalized plan that helps individuals identify their wellness strategies and potential triggers that may affect their recovery journey.

By outlining stressors, the WRAP allows both the RSS and the client to gain a clearer understanding of the challenges the client may face. This insight fosters better communication and collaboration in developing effective coping strategies and support systems. Furthermore, it encourages clients to identify resources and supports that bolster their recovery, which can enhance motivation and engagement in the recovery process.

This collaborative understanding is pivotal in empowering the client and guiding RSS in providing tailored support, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes in their journey toward recovery.
