💙Just a reminder 💙

It's important for the respite to remain true to its purpose. Although we recognize the need for detox and emergency shelter, we do not provide those services. We work outside of clinical and systems based services to support individuals seeking an alternative to hospitalization and escalating crisis.
If you are looking for detox, shelter or housing resources Great Rivers 211 may be able to help.
