Creating a Wellness Toolbox

A wellness toolbox is the first step in developing a WRAP. It is also the cornerstone of a WRAP Plan. It is a comprehensive list of all the things a person does to stay well and to feel better when they are not feeling well. It can include things the person is doing now and things they have learned of that they want to try. New tools can be added to the Wellness Toolbox as the person discovers new options. Tools that are not working well can be removed.

People who are developing their own Wellness Recovery Action Plan refer back to their Wellness Toolbox to complete each section. For many people, developing the Wellness Toolbox is their first introduction to personal responsibility and empowerment. One person said, "Finally I have discovered that there are things I can do to help myself".

In addition, some people use their Wellness Toolbox for ideas on things they can do to make each day special. It is not uncommon to hear that a person has made a copy of their Wellness Toolbox to put in a prominent place as a constant reminder of their many options.

This course will lead you step-by-step through the process of developing your own Wellness Toolbox. It is recommended for people who are developing their own WRAP, people (peers, care providers, family members, etc.) who are encouraging others as they develop their WRAP plan and as a refresher for WRAP group facilitators.

Triggers and Triggers Action Plan

Triggers are external factors that throw you off balance, even when you have been taking good care of yourself in every way possible. Everyone experiences Triggers, even people without mental health challenges. When Triggers happen, it can be difficult to coordinate your life. A big bill, physical illness, or bad news are all Triggers that may happen to anyone. Developing actions plans to use when Triggers occur can help get you back on track before things get worse. identifying each Trigger as it happens and responding with an action plan is a powerful skill to enhance the quality of your life. You never need to be defenseless again!

Early Warning Signs

Early Warning Signs are internal indications that things are not going well. They might include not taking good care of yourself, sleeping a lot, or feeling hopeless. When you notice that Early Warning Signs are happening, you can diminish or eliminate them by using action plans you develop. Your Wellness Tools are a good resource for action plans. You do not need to be a victim of Early Warning Signs for very long when you use your action plans in response!

When Things Are Breaking Down

This is one of the most powerful parts of WRAP® because it can help you avoid a crisis. You will make a list that will indicate what you are like when are breaking down for you. Your list would be strong and clear so your supporters can help you with action plans that you have developed. The action plans will be decisive and help you feel better in caring ways. Because you put this section together when you are feeling well, and your supporters are already familiar with it ahead of time, you increase your chances of avoiding crisis in friendly and helpful ways.

Advance Directive/Crisis Plan

The Advance Directive/Crisis Plan is the most intensive section of WRAP®, the most difficult and time consuming to develop, and some feel the most important. It tells supporters and care providers how they can help someone when that person is no longer able to take care of her or him self. Having such a plan keeps the person who is having the difficult time in control even when it seems like things are out of control. Instead of wondering what to do at this hard time, supporters have a plan to follow. These plans often help relieve the intensity of the crisis, help avoid traumatic interventions and even prevent tragedies.

This course guides you through each of the nine parts of this plan. While it is helpful to have already developed the other sections of WRAP before developing a Crisis Plan or Advance Directive, it is not essential.

This course will be of benefit to anyone who wants to develop their own Crisis Plan, or to learn more about the crisis planning. It will be especially useful to WRAP group facilitators who want to refresh their understanding of the Advance Directive/Crisis Plan.
