working on WRAP.

Questions need to be quick and easy for people to answer and should not include

in-depth self-disclosure.

Check- InCheck- InPossible questions:

What have you done recently to support your recovery?

What is one thing that you learned at the

previous session?

What do you do well?

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

What is one word that describes how you are feeling right now?

Where is your favorite place (now or at some past time)?

ClosingClosing
