RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT MENTAL HEALTH PEER RESPITE SERVICES - ENCOMPASS SECOND STORY

Aptos, CA 95060
Second Story is a six-bed house that serves as a respite and a voluntary opportunity for individuals to learn to use relationships to move out of old roles and patterns. Staffed by "peers," (people with lived experience of mood swings, consuming fears, voices, visions . . .) who have learned to be with some discomfort. The household provides an opportunity to experience what change feels like, and to learn new responses through relationships with each other. With the expectation that everyone is capable and inherently knows what they need, both paid staff and guests create a space for those qualities to surface. Along with creating a home, we share stories to connect and understand each other's experiences, gently challenging ourselves to listen to the untold story. The hope is not to rebuild a culture of illness, but instead generate some sparkling moments of connection and trust.
