Peer Respite Webinar & Discussion

Join us for the second in our Peer Respite webinar series! This webinar dives deeper into what the day-to-day operation of a peer respite looks like, based on examples of successful peer respites across the country. We will discuss challenges that might be encountered in running a peer respite, and important considerations of cultural context for creating sanctuaries of respite across different communities.  This webinar is for peers and persons with lived experience, clinicians, administrators, policy makers, and advocates in Colorado to deepen our understanding of the models and approaches of peer-run respite, understand what non-clinical peer-run respite could provide for Coloradans, and discuss your own questions about peer respite with national experts.
