Annual Events
Recovery The Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services has recognized recovery-based interventions as a vital part of the treatment for all individuals. Several Rehabilitation staff members have been trained as facilitators of the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) – a recovery-based action plan developed by Mary Ellen Copeland, Ph.D.
Recovery-skills groups, based on the concepts of WRAP, have been implemented on the inpatient units, and in outpatient programs. To further promote recovery within our community, the department hosts a weekly Peer Support group, and Recovery oriented workshops. Peer Support gives people the opportunity to discuss important issues with other people in recovery. The group is facilitated by its members, and is not run by any of the IOL staff.
The following links provide additional information on WRAP and recovery topics:
Peer Support Group
The Peer Support Group meets every Wednesday at 12:30PM at the IOL. This group is intended to provide support, encouragement, and positive momentum for people in recovery from mental health and substance use. The group fosters a coming together and hopefully assists individuals in changing old unhealthy patterns, by helping individuals build relationships that are respectful, mutually responsible, and supportive to help each other get out of ‘stuck’ places. This group offers a forum to be with others to encourage and promote a culture of health and ability verses illness and disability. There is no fee for this group.
