What is the first component of a WRAP?

The first component of a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is an individual Wellness Toolbox. This toolbox is a personalized collection of tools and strategies that individuals can utilize to maintain their health and well-being. It is fundamental because it lays the groundwork for the rest of the WRAP process. Developing a Wellness Toolbox involves identifying what works personally for each individual, such as specific coping strategies, activities, or resources that help in managing their wellness.

The other components, while important, build upon the foundation established by the Wellness Toolbox. A personal recovery plan, crisis plan, and support group all rely on the insights provided by the tools and strategies identified in the Wellness Toolbox. Understanding this first component is crucial for anyone looking to create an effective WRAP and promoting their recovery journey.
