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.
