Abstract

This article outlines findings from two Wellness Recovery Action Plan® workshops for college students in Western Canada. Widely recognized mental health challenges among college students and a service need demonstrated in pilot sessions served as rationale for providing one of the first iterations of WRAP in a college setting.

Résumé

Les résultats de deux ateliers Wellness Recovery Action Plan® (WRAP) destinés aux étudiants de l’Ouest canadien sont présentés. Les problèmes de santé mentale chez les étudiants et les lacunes en matière de services, démontrées lors des séances pilotes, ont justifié l’offre d’une des premières itérations du WRAP dans un cadre universitaire.
