You’re Safe Here. Welcome home.
A Non-clinical Approach To Crises.
Our peer-run respite offers short-term stays of up to 7-days in a home-like environment for guests to alleviate the burden of a self-identified crisis.
Crises most commonly affect members of the underserved community that is disproportionately BIPOC and LGBTQ+. We work hard to foster a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment to help these underserved populations.
Your Peers Are Here To Help.
There’s no one better to support a person in crisis than someone with lived experience. Our peer staff provides 24/7 access to non-clinical resources and trauma-informed support, but they also all have their own lived experience within our current crisis, jail, and mental health systems. We’re not here to bog you down with paperwork, we’re here to provide a home where you can feel empowered.
