The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP®) is a SAMHSA evidenced based practice self management tool.

We think of First Aid as something administered to people in need of physical health intervention. What about people who need immediate assistance for their mental health?

DBHIDS is dedicated to promoting healthy behaviors and healthy communities through education and awareness building strategies. DBHIDS has developed a variety of comprehensive and easily accessible online resources and trainings to strengthen awareness of behavioral health tools, services and support available for individuals and families.
DBHIDS understands the earlier we intervene with behavioral health issues, the faster we are able to provide professional care as a community. This requires paying attention to social determinants of health, which include the availability of support, experiences of trauma, access to behavioral health care, educational and economic opportunities, and the social and physical environment. We do this by partnering with city agencies including the criminal justice, housing, school, and child welfare systems, as well as the behavioral health treatment system and the general public.
Public education around behavioral health issues is necessary to promote overall health and well-being. Through partnerships with community based agencies and connecting with public leaders, DBHIDS works to promote the health of Philadelphians by supporting initiatives that strengthen individuals, families and communities.
Cross-system collaboration is an essential component to achieving overall wellness. Behavioral health settings are not the natural habitat of many community members. DBHIDS supports innovative cross-system collaboration to strengthen the capacity of the workforce to meet the health and wellness needs of people.
DBHIDS recognizes that effective and innovative practices are essential components of a resilience- and recovery-oriented behavioral health system. DBHIDS is committed to ensuring efficient, sustainable, “state-of-the-art” treatments are a part of the array of services and supports available to individuals who need them.
