Crisis Services/Mental Health: Residential Crisis Support and Respite Centers

Residential Crisis Support and Respite Centers, also known as Crisis Residences, provide an alternative to hospitalization for people experiencing mental health crises. They are warm, safe and supportive home-like places to rest and recover when more support is needed than can be provided at home. These centers offer stays for up to 28 days and provide an open-door setting where people (called "guests") can continue their daily activities. Trained peers and non-peers work with individuals to help them successfully overcome emotional crises. They offer services such as:

24-hour peer support

Self-advocacy education

Psychoeducation

Self-help training

Social support groups

Recreational activities

Linkage to medical and psychiatric providers
