Which of the following is a peer-developed service now recognized as an evidence-based practice?

This question falls under Domain V: Strategies for Facilitating Recovery, which emphasizes evidence-based practices (EBPs) in psychiatric rehabilitation, including peer-developed services. The CPRP Exam Blueprint identifies the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) as “a peer-developed, evidence-based practice that empowers individuals to manage their mental health through self-directed recovery planning.” WRAP, developed by Mary Ellen Copeland and peer advocates, is widely recognized for its research-backed effectiveness in promoting recovery.

Option D: The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a peer-developed service that has been established as an EBP through rigorous research demonstrating its impact on symptom management, self-advocacy, and recovery. It involves creating a personalized plan for wellness, triggers, and crisis management, aligning with recovery-oriented principles.

Option A: Advanced Mental Health Directives (e.g., psychiatric advance directives) are tools for self-directed care but are not peer-developed services nor widely recognized as EBPs in the same way as WRAP.

Option B: Self-Directed Care is a model allowing individuals to manage their service funds but is not specifically peer-developed or universally classified as an EBP.

Option C: Supported Employment (e.g., Individual Placement and Support) is an EBP but was developed by researchers and professionals, not primarily by peers.
