WRAP Wellness Action
Recovery Plan

Learn More

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a gentle but powerful guide to help you shape a life that feels like your own—rooted in wellness, clarity, and choice.

In WRAP, you’ll explore the practices, rhythms, and supports that help you feel well and stay connected to yourself, especially when life gets hard. Through this process, you’ll:

Discover tools that feel right for you—simple, supportive, and grounded in what works
Create a daily plan that helps you show up for your life with more steadiness and ease
Name what throws you off balance, and build caring strategies to get back on track
Design a plan for crisis moments that helps you stay safe, supported, and empowered

WRAP is about returning to yourself—again and again—with compassion. It invites you to walk your own path, with intention and support, integrating wellness tools and recovery values into your daily life. You are the expert on you, and WRAP honors that.

Buried in Treasures

Do you feel you need to declutter, simplify, downsize, have too much stuff, over-acquire or have trouble letting go of things? This group can help you learn & practice lifelong coping skills and better habits. We offer a peer-led, evidence-based group that blends support and skill-building to give you the tools you need to manage moderate to severe levels of clutter.

Each week we’ll discuss a skill from the book, Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving and Hoarding*, and complete challenging & rewarding exercises. A copy of the book will be provided.

This group will meet for three 6-week sessions. You commit to attend 14 of 18 weeks.
