			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spend five days with Matthew Federici, Executive Director, learning to become a  Mental Health Recovery Educator designed to help you become a powerful  change agent/recovery educator as a WRAP Facilitator. You will gain a  deeper understanding of the recovery process and learn to:</p>
<p>• work with people who have mental health challenges to discover the  strengths they have and can use to enhance their recovery;<br />
• effectively share the underlying concepts necessary to recovery: hope,  personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy, and support;<br />
• work with individuals and groups to develop a Wellness Recovery Action  Plan (WRAP),<br />
• teach about wellness tools and strategies;<br />
• empower and motivate people to work toward recovery – feeling the way  they want to feel, making their lives the way they want them to be, and  moving toward meeting their life goals;<br />
• use interaction and presentation styles and strategies that enhance  recovery.</p>
<p>Thousands across the US and the world have trained as WRAP  Facilitators and those people are changing the mental health system to  honor people’s recovery journeys. This course models the behavior of a  facilitator in a WRAP class and stresses authenticity and unconditional  high regard, as well as a strong set of values and ethics to guide your  work.</p>
<p>This training is appropriate for anyone who would like to lead WRAP  groups, work with others to develop their own WRAPs, give presentations  on the different parts of WRAP to groups or organizations, and people  who would like a framework to become superb facilitators. However, it is  not a beginner class on WRAP. Attendees are expected to have a solid  working knowledge of WRAP.</p>
<p>Tuition: $1200 for training, materials, and lunch and snacks all five days.</p>

Many of us have difficulty with managing our weight, eating right and getting enough exercise. The daily maintenance plan and the wellness toolbox parts of WRAP can be invaluable tools in trying to manage your weight. This webinar will help you identify triggers that hinder weight loss as well as early warning signs that things may be heading in a direction you do not want. Using WRAP has helped many people get their weight under control often while working on other challenges.</p>
