Culturally Attuned Action Planning for Prevention and Recovery (APPR)

Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) Foundational Community Supports (FCS) team in partnership with Rutgers School of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions are hosting the February Cultural Responsiveness Learning Community and ask you to join us! 

This 90-minute webinar is designed to enhance practitioner knowledge of culturally responsive best practices in mental health services. Attendees will be introduced to an adaptation of the SAMHSA designed Action Planning for Prevention and Recovery (APPR) workbook. APPR, a SAMHSA-modified version of the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), is an evidence-based practice that staff in FCS programs can use to help diverse individuals with mental health conditions build culturally meaningful wellness and recovery skills. Participants will learn how to use a practical, fill-in-the-blank workbook that supports wellness planning, early identification of distress, and culturally responsive crisis planning.

Objectives:

• Describe APPR as a SAMHSA-modified version of WRAP and an evidence-based practice for FCS programs
• Use culturally attuned APPR tools to support diverse individuals with mental health conditions
• Apply culturally responsive action-planning strategies in FCS service settings
