Wellness Recovery Action Plan

Abstract: 

The Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) was originally developed by Mary Ellen Copeland and a group of mental health service users who wanted to work on their own recovery – this is what they found worked for them and what helped them recover from their mental health difficulties.

The Wellness Recovery Action Plan is a framework with which you can develop an effective approach to manage distressing symptoms and gain insight into patterns of behavior. It is a tool to help you gain more control over your problems.

Developing your own WRAP will take time, it can be done alone, but many find it very valuable to have a supporter – they chose people they trust, and work on it together.
