WRAP
Also written as: WRAP — Wellness Recovery Action Plan
Wellness Recovery Action Plan - a self-management and recovery system developed by and for people with mental health difficulties to help maintain wellness and cope with symptoms.
Full Definition
WRAP is an evidence-based wellness and recovery approach that helps individuals identify what keeps them well, recognize warning signs of difficulty, and develop action plans for various stages of mental health challenges. The plan includes daily wellness tools, identifying triggers and early warning signs, crisis planning, and post-crisis recovery strategies. WRAP emphasizes personal responsibility, hope, and the expertise that comes from lived experience with mental health challenges. Many mental health programs incorporate WRAP principles into treatment planning. Documentation should reflect how WRAP concepts are integrated into individualized care plans.
