View Award Description

The Respite/Peer Run Crisis Respite Services for Seriously Mentally Ill - The Respite is a peer-staffed crisis residential program, (PCR) that will fill a critical gap in Santa Cruz County Mental Health's service delivery system by providing a recovery-based alternative to existing hospital-driven emergency services. In providing peer-operated support to individuals in crisis, the Respite will provide training, employment and empowerment opportunities and substantially contribute to the system's overall transformation. The goals of the Respite are to (1) Provide recovery-oriented, trauma-informed peer and formal support in a crisis respite and (2) Provide Training to Peers in Intentional Peer Support (IPS) and Seeking Safety. The objectives of the Respite are to (1) Provide services for 320 adult consumers annually; (2) Reduce emergency hospitalizations for acute psychiatric crises; (3) Foster recovery for individuals with serious mental illness; (4) Reduce costs for services; (5) Increase meaningful choices for recovery for consumers in Santa Cruz County; (6) Establish a true Consumer Operated PCR within 5 years. The project employs evidence-based practices and fidelity instruments developed and validated by leaders of the peer-support and peer research communities in collaboration with SAMHSA; Intentional Peer Support and Crisis Training, validated by the FACIT, an evidence-based practice for trauma-informed care, Seeking Safety, endorsed by NREPP, the Recovery Enhancing Environment measure, psychiatric supervision of services, and peer and recovery-oriented staff and consultants. The Respite will provide a haven and recovery-oriented peer and formal support to adults who qualify for public mental health services, including homeless individuals, and people in supported housing and board and care facilities.
