WRAP® (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is an internationally recognised, evidence-based programme rooted in lived experience. It was developed by Mary Ellen Copeland as part of her personal journey toward wellness and has since empowered people across the world to take charge of their mental health.
At ConnectWell, our facilitators are trained and accredited by Advocates for Human Potential (A.H.P.) to deliver co-facilitated WRAP® workshops (Seminars I, II, and III) throughout Ireland.
These workshops are open to everyone - whether you're navigating a mental health challenge, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to strengthen your personal wellness toolkit.
WRAP® helps participants build personalised wellness strategies, recognise triggers, and develop crisis and post-crisis plans in a supportive, peer-led environment.
ConnectWell currently provides Recovery-Focused Mental Health Peer Support Groups for adults aged 18 and over across various locations in Cork and Kerry.
These groups are non-referral, walk-in, and completely free of charge. We offer safe, welcoming, confidential, and non-judgemental spaces where everyone is heard and respected.
You do not need a mental health diagnosis to attend - our groups are open to anyone seeking support, connection, or simply looking to maintain their mental well-being.
In these spaces, you'll find understanding, shared lived experience, and the reassuring reminder that you are not alone. Whether you're facing a challenge or just want to prioritise your wellness, you’re welcome here.
If you're interested in attending a group visit our Peer Support page or would like to become a Peer Leader, visit our Training page.
