Our House is a clean, safe, supportive, tranquil, and non-judgmental environment in a residential community. Guests can be provided support at the house for a maximum of 10 days.

Crisis often leads to disruptions in balance and self-care. To restore capability and balance, we:

  • Provide intensive short-term support for individuals in the community through an alternative environment to inpatient hospitalization
  • Empower a person in crisis to re-establish healthy habits and routines
  • Enhance coping skills to manage crisis or distress in order to resume valued roles
  • Strengthen wellness self-care so that the guest can be successful in managing the immediate crisis and resume valued life roles and responsibilities
  • Assist guests to become or remain linked with their healthcare providers, jobs, schools, and communities.

The program recognizes that crises are short-term, and involve a time when a person may need assistance in managing the distress that can interfere with personal wellness.

We see wellness, not as the absence of disease or distress, but as the presence of purpose in life, active involvement in satisfying work and play, joyful relationships, a healthy body and living environment, and the presence of happiness.

We provide guests with support and the tools needed to pursue recovery and wellness. We aim to both inspire hope and assist guests in developing crisis self-management skills so our guests can manage current and future crisis situations. We focus on self-care in the areas of sleep and rest, relaxation, nutrition, physical activity, and management of co-occurring medical or substance use issues.

Interested individuals can call to complete the intake process through our Wellness Respite House phone line.
