• Sensitivity to the subjective emotional issues faced by family caregivers and well children in the family
• Recognition of the need to help ameliorate the day-to-day objective burdens of care and management
• Gaining confidence and stamina for what can be a lifelong role of family understanding and support
• Empowerment of family caregivers as effective advocates for their children

WRAP Plan Class
Are you or is someone you know living with a mental health diagnosis such as depression, PTSD, or bipolar?
When you are doing well, are you wondering or worrying about when your symptoms will kick in again? It's time to put you in the driver's seat. You have the opportunity to create a tool that will have you feeling in charge of your life and your wellbeing. It's called a Wellness Recovery Action Plan, or WRAP plan.
You are invited to join us for a FREE six week session. Your instructors will take you step by step in creating your own WRAP plan. All materials are provided and you will leave with your completed WRAP plan and a resource book.
The group will meet from 12-1 pm on Wednesdays beginning April 11. We will meet at the NAMI Brown County Resource Center at 932 Cherry St. Your instructors are experienced in helping individuals write WRAP plans and are certified by the state of WI as Peer Specialists.
This class is sponsored by Options for Independent Living. Contact Kathy at (920) 609-2142 for more info or to register.
