The Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery was established in 2003 by Dr. Mary Ellen Copeland to insure the continuance of the networking of her well-known and highly respected mental health recovery and WRAP work. Dr. Copeland has been studying the recovery and wellness strategies of people who experience mental health issues for over 20 years. She began these studies out of her own frustration with finding simple and safe alternatives for dealing with her own mental health difficulties.
Her findings were so profound and had such a positive effect on her life that she began sharing them with others in workshops, presentations and at training events. She also began developing books and other resources to that would assist others in using the skills and strategies she discovered.
Since 1988, Dr. Copeland has shared her findings in hundreds of workshops, trainings and presentations in the United States and around the world. In addition, initially through her own work, and more recently through the Copeland Center, she has trained over 1500 people to lead groups based on her work, and 130 people to train people to lead these facilitator trainings.
Dr. Copeland continues to work closely with the Copeland Center staff and a team of Advanced Level Facilitators to insure that the Center continues to collect data on what helps people get well and stay well, and what insures the success of WRAP groups, and to incorporate these findings into training events and mental health recovery and WRAP resources.
If you are considering integrating Dr. Copeland’s program, Mental Health Recovery including WRAP, into your agency or organization, please contact the Copeland Center directly to insure that your program accurately reflects Dr. Copeland’s and the Center’s most current findings.
