Objective: The aim of this research was to assess the relevance and impact of Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) in group settings, as a tool for self-management and wellness planning by individuals with mental-health problems. This paper reports on the impact on participants who trained as facilitators and delivered WRAP training to others within the organizations studied. Method: Eight WRAP facilitators took part in interviews and focus groups. Results: The WRAP facilitators reported a positive impact on their well-bring, from learning more about recovery, developing improved self-awareness, to integrating a WRAP approach into daily life. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Delivering `WRAP training to groups can make a positive contribution to the well-being of facilitators themselves. Involving people with lived experience in the delivery of WRAP groups in this setting further promoted the recovery journey of facilitators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
