The Living Room is a welcoming space for adults (18+) in our community who are experiencing emotional distress, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking additional support. It offers a supportive alternative to hospital emergency departments in a calm, non-clinical setting. There is no cost to access the Living Room.
Come as you are. Together We Heal.
Designed to feel like a comfortable home environment, the space includes soft lighting, comfortable furniture, calming décor, and reduced stimulation to help guests feel at ease. Guests may relax alone or connect with others in shared areas. We intentionally refer to visitors as “Guests” to reflect our person-centered, non-clinical approach.
The Living Room is staffed by trained Recovery Support Specialists — individuals with lived experience who are equipped to provide compassionate, peer-based support.
Recovery Support Specialists:
-
Navigate immediate challenges
-
Develop practical coping strategies
-
Identify short-term, achievable goals
-
Create personalized wellness plans
-
Connect with additional community resources, if desired
