Our crisis residential programs help people who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

Our program speeds up recovery for people experiencing psychiatric distress, through practical and therapeutic support. Our crisis residential programs are serene and home-like environments with around-the-clock care, supervision, and wellness & recovery support for individuals in crisis. Individuals come live at a Crisis Residential facility as a residential alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, or for support after being hospitalized. We provide respite, individual and group therapy, family support, crisis management, and a long-term plan for wellness and recovery.
