Peer-Run Respite

Retreat @The Plaza offers a voluntary, unlocked healing alternative to emergency department and psychiatric hospitalization. As a guest, you can rest, reflect, and connect through emotional distress or a mental health crisis. Your stay is free and you can maintain your connections to your family, community, work, and school.

We Are Here For You:

  • If you are experiencing emotional distress in response to trauma and loss, however that looks.
  • If you are seeking to avoid hospitalization for a mental health crisis or looking for alternative ways of making meaning of your experience of crisis and extreme states.
  • If you feel stuck in patterns of institutionalization or have been subjected to forced treatment or coercion in relation to addressing stressful life circumstances.
  • If you are struggling with substance use and would like to try something different.
  • If you are experiencing a crisis related to lack of housing (please note: the respite is not a housing program)
