Peer-run Crisis Respite Programs - an Introduction
Bringing Peer-run Respites to MassachusettsConcept paper used to persuade decision-makers at the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health to fund peer-run respites. This concept paper follows a sequence of headings, 1) What our goals are, 2) What we know, 3) What we propose to do, and 4) Why NEC is uniquely able to be successful. It can be used as an example of how to write a successful concept paper.”
Western Mass Recovery Learning CommunityThe Western Mass Recovery Learning Community (RLC) is driven by values rather than rules. The Guiding Council of Western Mass (GCOW) - advisory board to the RLC - developed this set of defining principles through a participatory process to guide the community and support its growth and vibrancy. The defining principles are posted in all RLC spaces and are considered to be one of the community's foundational documents.
