WELCOME
For too long the default destination for New Yorkers in distress has been either the emergency room or prison. Our Residential Crisis Support program instead offers warmth, empathy, and compassion together with access to a wide range of recovery-oriented services:
- 24-hour support from peers (individuals with lived experience of receiving mental health services and trained to provide support to others)
- Self-advocacy and education
- Coping skills and self-care
- Group and one-on-one services and activities, including art, poetry, WRAP planning, meditation, goal-setting, meal-planning, budgeting, and wellness skills
- Exploration of and connection to community resources
Stays at the Crisis Residence are voluntary – and to the fullest possible extent, guests are welcome to continue their regular schedules outside the program (for example, at work, with treatment providers, at school, et cetera) during their stay.

"Sometimes when you’re suicidal you need someone to listen to you, someone to understand you. It’s a cry for help - not necessarily a cry to be bound up inside the four walls of a hospital room."
