Wellness Recovery Action Plan
Wellness Recovery Action Plan known as the WRAP plan was developed by Mary Ellen Copeland, who suffered herself from mental illness and is now a mental health recovery advocate.
This plan makes you look at yourself, and examine how you are when you are having a good day. What are you like when you are having a bad day? What can you do for yourself to get yourself feeling better?

Mary Ellen Copeland Key Recovery Concepts
There are five key recovery concepts that, through her research, Mary Ellen found to be essential to effective recovery work. They are:
- Hope - People who experience mental health difficulties get well, stay well and go on to meet their life dreams and goals.
- Personal Responsibility - It's up to you, with the assistance of others, to take action and do what needs to be done to keep yourself well.
- Education - Learning all you can about what you are experiencing so you can make good decisions about all aspects of you life.
- Self Advocacy -Effectively reaching out to others so that you can get what it is that you need, want and deserve to support your wellness and recovery.
- Support - While working toward your wellness is up to you, receiving support from others, and giving support to others will help you feel better and enhance the quality of your life.
