Crisis Respite Centers
Crisis Respite Centers serve people who anticipate or are experiencing a mental health crisis and provide a temporary residential stay in a warm, safe and supportive home-like environment where the person is free to come in and out of the building as they please. The Centers offer 24/7 support by peers who have experience with mental health issues as well as Non-Peer/Traditional Mental Health Professionals. The Crisis Respite Centers provide an innovative and unique alternative and/or complementary service to traditional emergency room or inpatient hospital care.
