Wellness and Recovery After Psychosis (WRAP)

Patient Resources

Local Mental Health Services

Part of WRAP’s role is to help orient patients and families to the variety of treatment services available in the community. In the greater Boston area, services ranging from in-the-moment crisis support to the long-term stability offered by day programs and regular group therapy are available from community partners.

There is not a one-size-fits all approach to treatment, but our team is here to answer any questions or help problem solve around additional resources.

Community Resources for Patients and Families

To support patients and their loved ones' well-being, the WRAP team has gathered recommended local Boston resources that offer transportation assistance, housing support, free meals, college preparation services, adult education classes, job training, and more.

The WRAP team has also produced a guide to the services and supports available to Massachusetts residents through the Department of Mental Health (DPH):
