The WRAP recovery model is a step-wise process through which an individual is able to monitor and manage distressing symptoms that occur in daily life. The six steps include Step 1, Develop a Wellness Toolbox; Step 2, Daily Maintenance List; Step 3, Triggers; Step 4, Early Warning Signs; Step 5, Things Are Breaking Down or Getting Worse; and Step 6, Crisis Planning. In Step 6 (Crisis Planning), clients can no longer care for themselves, make independent decisions, or keep themselves safe. Caregivers take an active role in this step on behalf of the client and implement the plan that the client has previously developed. All other actions presented require the client to be functionally capable.
