Roadmap to Seclusion and Restraint Free Mental Health Services
Exercise/Discussion—Module 5
Developing a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)
OBJECTIVE: Participants will understand how to develop a WRAP for themselves
and will be able to transfer these skills to their work with consumers.
PROCESS: Refer participants to the handout Examples of Consumer WRAPs
and give them time to review the WRAPS in class. Give each participant
a copy of the handout Developing a WRAP, which gives
instructions on how to complete a WRAP. Ask each participant to
develop one section of a WRAP. Remember, a recovery plan does
not have to be for psychiatric symptoms. It can be for any physical
condition or for recovery from a diffi cult or traumatic life experience.
Divide the group into four or fi ve smaller groups and have each
person share one part of his or her WRAP. Reconvene as a large
group and facilitate a discussion.
