The person may want to develop a plan for preventing a relapse or flare up of symptoms – some of the things mentioned above can be part of this plan. Such a plan can be a really helpful tool for staying healthy and well. That plan would include some action steps for the topics discussed above and can be structured in different ways. Two resources that can be useful for this are:
Develop a Wellness Recovery and Action Plan (Wrap)
Developing and using a WRAP can be a useful tool for some. NOTE: The WRAP materials are licensed and can incur a cost. Some health authorities may have a license to use WRAP or may cover the cost for use. Individuals can also order the WRAP workbook and tools on their own.
