Thanks to the experience of Rose House, the work of PEOPLE, Inc., and the support of Optum Health, a new manual is now available for people interested in starting hospital diversion services, which are crisis alternatives that include peer-run respites. Thank you to PEOPLE, Inc. and Optum Health for making this document free and accessible! The manual has several interactive pieces and is user friendly. We are proud at the NEC to be able to showcase this manual and make it available for free download. If you do copy it, please make sure to give proper credit.

The manual is available here:
