WRAP – Personal Wellness Planning App

What is WRAP?

WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) is a free Android application created by Advocates for Human Potential Inc. It provides a structured way for users to build and maintain a personal wellness plan. The app is built around the WRAP methodology, a self‑directed process that encourages proactive mental‑health management, stress reduction, and recovery from setbacks.

Main Features

• Customizable Wellness Plan – Create a plan that reflects your goals, coping strategies, and personal preferences.
• Daily Maintenance Tracker – Log habits, set reminders, and monitor activities that support your well‑being.
• Trigger & Early‑Warning Identification – Record signs that signal rising stress and define actions to address them before they become overwhelming.
• Crisis Planning – Outline preferred supports, contacts, and steps to take if you find yourself in a crisis situation.
• Local Data Storage – All information is saved on the device, giving you full control over privacy.

How It Works

After installing WRAP, you start by filling out a brief questionnaire that helps the app suggest sections to include in your plan. You can then add or edit entries such as daily routines, coping tools, and emergency contacts. The interface lets you set recurring reminders, so you receive gentle nudges to practice self‑care activities. When you notice a trigger, you can quickly open the relevant action plan and follow the steps you have predefined.

Practical Uses

WRAP is useful for anyone who wants a tangible framework for mental‑health maintenance. Typical scenarios include:

1. Students managing exam‑related stress by tracking study breaks and relaxation techniques.
2. Professionals using daily check‑ins to balance work demands with personal well‑being.
3. Individuals recovering from a mental‑health episode who need a clear, step‑by‑step plan for early warning signs.
4. Caregivers who want to document preferred support options for a loved one during a crisis.

Who May Find It Useful?

The app is designed for a broad audience: people new to wellness planning, those already familiar with the WRAP framework, mental‑health professionals who recommend self‑management tools, and community groups that support peer‑based recovery.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app does not require an internet connection for core functions; all data stays on your device.
• Because the app stores information locally, backing up your plan manually (e.g., via device backup) is recommended.
• WRAP does not replace professional medical advice; it is a supplemental tool for personal organization.
