Developing a Therapeutic Community in Washington State

Project Type(s):

We are exploring the feasibility of establishing a long-term, residential Therapeutic Community in Washington State for adults living with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, biplolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses. Such a facility would fill a critical gap in our current system, providing a complete spectrum of care for those in our community with chronic mental health conditions. Beyond offering patients and families a safe and therapeutic way to continue their recovery, we would hope to develop this program as a site of research and innovation and a site where we can teach and inspire the next generation of mental health care professionals for our state. Ultimately, we would like to help other communities build programs of their own.
