Establishing peer respites throughout the Commonwealth

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish at least 14 regional peer respite centers across the state to provide short-term support for individuals experiencing mental distress. At least two centers would specifically serve LGBTQIA+ individuals and two would serve Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC), with staff trained to support these communities. The state would fund the creation and operation of these centers, which would be peer-run and focus on recovery and wellness rather than clinical services.
