In Collaboration with the Copeland Centre

WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is a group program that combines peer support with recovery education and action planning. The approach was developed in the United States by Mary Ellen Copeland in 1997 and has been a popular and impactful process for many people with lived experience in Canada.

WRAP group members learn about the key concepts of recovery, including hope, self-determination, education, self-advocacy, personal responsibility and giving and receiving support.

With guidance from peer facilitators and fellow group members, participants learn how to compile a personal WRAP Plan, which includes:

  • Wellness tools and daily maintenance list
  • Triggers & action plan
  • Early warning signs & action plan
  • When things are breaking down & action plan
  • Crisis plan
  • Post-crisis plan
