  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I just encountered this concept. It's basically a short-term place to stay in crises that's an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization.
Directory of peer run respites in the US: https://power2u.org/directory-of-peer-respites/
Resources for starting one: https://power2u.org/resources-for-starting-a-peer-run-crisis-alternative-in-your-area/

I'm really intrigued and probably going to go down the rabbit hole later.
Anyone have any lived experience or other insider knowledge about these? There's none in my area so I'm considering starting one but that's a big big task and I don't want to put in the work if it's not actually useful.
