Abstract
Despite increasing popularity, the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) has few published efficacy studies. WRAP aims to support participants to take ownership of their mental health and wellbeing through facilitated groups. Bandura's (1977) self-efficacy mechanism framework proposed that a person's belief in their ability to use coping skills is predictive of future behaviour. This project focused on evaluating the effectiveness of WRAP for improving coping self-efficacy, confidence and clinical outcomes for adults with mental health difficulties supported through NHS community mental health teams. 17 participants took part and showed significant mean differences between their pre- and post-scores for coping self-efficacy, mental health confidence, depression and overall distress. These findings suggest that WRAP improves coping self-efficacy and confidence in ability to self-manage, and reduces levels of distress and low mood. Improvements in ability to seek support and cope related to improvements in all but one of the clinical outcomes. Further research with larger samples, follow-up data, comparison and control groups is suggested to identify key variables for enhancing change.
