What is WRAP?

WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is a simple yet powerful tool to help you take charge of your well-being. Whether you’re navigating life’s everyday challenges or facing more difficult times, WRAP helps you create your own personalized plan to stay well and feel your best.

At its heart, WRAP is about hope, empowerment, education, self-advocacy, and connection. It’s a chance to build on what works for you.

What Happens in a WRAP Group?

In a supportive group setting, you’ll explore a variety of self-care tools such as:

Peer support and connection
Relaxation and mindfulness techniques
Stress reduction strategies
Ways to recognize early warning signs and respond effectively

You’ll also learn about local resources and supports that can help along the way. Each group meets once a week for 8 to 10 weeks, giving you time to build your plan and connect with others on a similar journey.

Who is WRAP For?

WRAP is for anyone looking to strengthen their well-being—whether you’re supporting your mental health, managing stress, or simply wanting to feel more balanced and resilient in daily life.

The tools and strategies you’ll develop are practical, safe, and designed by you, for you.
