ART For INSIGHT

Art for Insight is an interactive, exploratory support for those who want a deeper understanding and insight of their W.R.A.P.® (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) self-management system. Through the use of art prompts similar to journal prompts, called ARTsignments, participants are able to visualize what is important to them to achieve and increase wellness in their lives.

Art for Insight is a fascinating way of exploring all the parts of your WRAP through self-expression, which enhances empowerment. Sessions are carried out through online Skype sessions, phone calls and emails in the comfort of your own home. No previous art experience is necessary. Using color and simple shapes, you will discover a richer understanding of your WRAP. The parts of your WRAP that you desire to strengthen can be addressed specifically or the overall wellness plan.

Art for Insight is presented with the same type of encouragement, compassion and respect used in the Values and Ethics of WRAP Workshops. I am an Advanced Level WRAP Facilitator certified through the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery since 2005.

Art for Insight costs $20 per hour-long sessions and is payable through Pay Pal and can be scheduled at your convenience. Minimal supplies are needed such as markers and paper but your creativity is the limit if you have your own supplies that you are comfortable with. Ideas for more supplies for self-expression can be discussed and planned for ahead of time if you desire. New techniques can easily be presented in a way that is non-threatening and simple to achieve.

Art for Insight is a creative way to deepen understanding of your WRAP. ARTsignments are suggested and you are walked through the process in a compassionate way to bring insight. After the session, you are emailed the instructions to repeat on your own along with photos for examples. You may share the ARTsignments with your W.R.A.P.® Workshops if you are a certified W.R.A.P.® Facilitator with credit given to Janet Laird.

If you are unfamiliar with Skype, contact me and I will walk you through the free and simple process. There is no charge for opening a Skype account. All that is required is a web camera along with your internet connection.
