Services represented at this conference include:

  • Crisis call centers
  • Mobile crisis teams
  • Crisis residential programs
  • Peer respites
  • Psychiatric urgent care and crisis stabilization
  • Partial hospital programs
  • Peer lines/peer run warm lines

PRN founder Cherene Allen-Caraco is thrilled to welcome national leaders in peer support, crisis service providers, policy makers, and payers to learn from and with each other about crisis prevention, diversion, and non-carceral responses around the country.

Cherene is excited about the event, noting, “I am particularly pleased that this year, peer respites and peer support lines are highlighted as essential and effective. Our team will be welcoming 100 conference attendees at our peer respite in Plaza Midwood, Retreat @ The Plaza.   I am also honored that Deputy County Manager, Anthony Trotman, County Manager, Dena Diorio, NC Secretary of Health & Human Services Kody Kinsley will be taking the stage to welcome attendees to our county, city and state, and that Dr. Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, US DHHS Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance will be the keynote speaker, launching CrisiCon23 on Tuesday.”
