What is WRAP?
WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is a practical tool to help you plan for staying well and getting through harder times. You create a plan that reflects what helps you.
At its heart, WRAP is about hope, personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy,andsupport. It’s a chance to build a crisis plan that works for you.

What happens in a WRAP group?
In a supportive group setting, you’ll work through WRAP step by step and build your plan over time.
In the group, we’ll cover:
- 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 resources in the community that can help along the way. Each group meets once a week for 8 to 10 weeks.
Who is WRAP For?
WRAP is for anyone looking to support their mental health, manage stress, or feel more steady in daily life. The tools and strategies you’ll develop are practical and designed by you, for you. Here is a short introductory video about the origins of WRAP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDOMhUj1f4M
