The Crisis Living Room is a calm and safe environment. Here, adults in mental health crisis can be supported in their recovery. There is no appointment needed for this living room model program. You walk-in and are greeted by a Peer Support Specialist. A Peer is someone who has been in a mental health crisis and is in recovery. You will also work with a Crisis Clinician to develop a safety plan.
The Crisis Residential Unit at LifeWays is a 5-bed unit. Those experiencing a mental health crisis can stay for up to 14-days while receiving services with LifeWays. This offers an alternative to costly inpatient services or hospital stays. The environment is more calming than that of a hospital. The unit features a full kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, living room and private bedrooms.
