This Livingroom sounds like heaven. Iām impressed with the level of autonomy offered along with safety. Not sure how they pull that off. I supposed it depends on the severity of the illness. So many end up in jail or in locked Psych unit.
Despite studying in the mental health field, I've never heard of this option and I'm so excited to learn that about it. Wonderful idea that I hope continues to spread. <3 Thanks for letting us know about it.
This makes so much sense. I will have to explore if there is anything like this in Canada. We have youth drop in centers but I'm not aware of anything for adults. Thank you for sharing this.
OMG, Iāve never heard of these but they sound wonderful. When I was in crisis, I was told to go to the ER, which I refused to do. I was desperate enough to go to an inpatient psych hospital, which I will never do again. It cost a fortune and not only didnāt help but further traumatized me. I would have been far better off just paying any sane human to be with me at home temporarily.
I have never heard of these types of facilities either. What a great option. When I had my dissociative episode and my husband took me to emergency I ended up in the psych ward. So, I had lost all my short term memory and I was in overnight sleeping in a weird chair bed with a whole bunch of strangers and not really knowing what was happening to my brain. It wasn't pleasant. (Although to be fair to my husband there really was no other option.) But, if you're not in acute need, the living room option sounds ideal.
This is an amazing option. A Living Room in every town feels like the least we could do. I went to one in Boulder, though at the time I didn't know it was a living room. It's where they send you from suicide hotlines, which is great. https://www.mhpcolorado.org/mental-health-partners-opens-the-living-room/

This Living Room sounds like an amazing, compassionate place. I googled the San Antonio area, only found furniture stores.

Iāve never heard of this before. Sounds like a wonderful resource. Iām going to check my area.
Iād never heard of Living Rooms before. What a tremendous idea. I hope we see more of these resources popping up all over.
