The Summit

On the five Sundays in October, 2021, 707 people from 40 countries attended Zoom Webinars presented by staff and residents (both past and present) of Soteria houses and peer respites at the International Peer Respite/Soteria Summit (Summit). These two types of program are safer, more cost effective, and have better outcomes than mainstream mental health and medical model treatment.   See Why We Need Different Approaches.  It was inspiring, as well as informative, with recordings of the entire webinar series available as well as edited, short, videos. Take a look around to see more about us and resources to learn more about Soteria and peer respites.
