Wellness Recovery Action Plan
Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP®) is a manualized group intervention for symptom and illness management that is delivered in a self-help context. It was first developed by Mary Ellen Copeland, and has been implemented nationally and internationally by the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery. WRAP guides participants through the process of identifying their personal wellness resources and developing an individualized plan to use these resources on a daily basis to manage their behavioral health conditions. Information is imparted through lectures, discussions, and individual and group exercises. Key WRAP concepts are illustrated through examples from the lives of the co-facilitators and participants. Although the program is used primarily by people with behavioral health conditions, WRAP also is used by people living with disabilities and physical illnesses, as well as with military personnel and veterans.
Our randomized controlled trial study of WRAP suggests that it reduces psychiatric symptoms, enhances recovery and self-advocacy skills, and increases hopefulness and quality of life.
