Part IV. Describe how you would handle each of the following 3 situations.

Situation 1: You are having trouble getting a WRAP Group off the ground. You’ve been coordinating meeting space, refreshments, publicity, etc. with an organization (consumer-run or CSB). The person you have been working with does not seem to be creative enough or assertive enough to get things moving. You suspect the organization itself is resistant to the idea of a WRAP Group. What do you do?

Situation 2: You are facilitating a WRAP Group. A group member continuously interrupts with questions, challenging you, and is generally disrupting the entire group. What do you do?

Situation 3: There is a consumer who comes to your WRAP Group every week. He/she seems to pay attention and does not cause any disturbance. But the person does not participate in any of the discussions and does not work on a personal WRAP plan. There are no signs of progress. What do you do?
