The Global WRAP Community
WRAP Globally
Although WRAP was born in the small state of Vermont in the New England area of the United States, the WRAP community quickly went global. Why? Because it works for anyone, from any country, culture, gender, race, age, ethnicity, community, or walk of life! In fact, WRAP is being used in schools and colleges, jails and prisons, substance use disorder treatment centers, mental health treatment centers, peer support centers, community centers, churches, senior centers, shelters for people who are unhoused, indigenous communities, veteran organizations and the National Veteran Coalition, workplaces, and much more. From huge metropolitan cities to small, rural towns and villages, people are using WRAP each day to maintain wellness.
In fact, WRAP is currently being used in more than 35 countries. As you can see, WRAP is not just an American wellness approach—the need and desire for wellness is universal! The publications are available in multiple languages and will continue to be translated into more as demand grows. What a great thing it would be for WRAP to reach people in every country in the world, enriching the lives of people everywhere.
How can I join this global community?
If WRAP is part of your life, you’re already part of this international community!
The global WRAP community spans a wide range of experiences and cultures. We are a vibrant, diverse, and accepting universe of people who share WRAP and a desire to get well and stay well. Why does WRAP resonate with people around the world? Because of its focus on values, ethics, and key concepts that speak to basic human needs, desires, and responsibilities.
There are many ways to interact with fellow WRAPers:
- Participate in a WRAP group (find local Facilitators)
- Use WRAP and tell others about it
- Connect with WRAP on social media
- Subscribe to the WRAP newsletter
- And more!
If you use WRAP, you’re in! It’s an inclusive community!
Those who feel the desire to share WRAP with others can then move on to becoming a WRAP Facilitator or Advanced Level Facilitator. Facilitators are key participants in sustaining WRAP, growing the community, and informing the development of materials.
Where are WRAP Facilitators located?
While the bulk of Certified WRAP Facilitators and Advanced Level Facilitators are in the United States and Canada, they are also in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, Kenya, Hong Kong, and many other countries.
