Episode 18 - Brain Stories Connections:  Judge Jim Bianco:  A Model for Solving Homelessness and Mental Health

When you get an infection, you're liable to take a 7 day course of antibiotics. Get a mental health issue and you might take an hour of therapy. But what if instead, you got 7 full days of empathy --  with people who have been there. That's the promise of peer respite. Lindsay Mesa tells us how it works at Rosewood Cottage, a peer respite program in Vermont. In their first year, the results have been astonishing. And at much lower cost than a psychiatric hospital. To learn more about Pathways Vermont in general, click <a href='https://www.pathwaysvermont.org/'>here</a>.

Episode 20 - Brain Stories Connections: Peer Healing in Just 7 Days

California, 1971: A project called Soteria launched to study if people with psychosis fared better in psychiatric hospitals, or an environment that put listening and relationships first, medication and diagnoses second.  The results were astonishing.  In today's episode we talk with Betsy Hoekstra about the only Soteria House currently running in the United States today.     Betsy works for Pathways Vermont, the agency that runs Soteria House.  She was on-staff at Soteria for three years, and has experienced "psychiatric incarceration" herself.  She lays out what sets Soteria apart from traditional hospitalization, why having a shared understanding of reality actually isn't that important, and how her own experience with state sanctioned violence radically changed the course of her life. To learn more about Soteria House, you can check out the Pathways Vermont website <a href='https://www.pathwaysvermont.org/programs/soteria-house/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20943938862&gbraid=0AAAAADHXhaofbyv0KKWvlBZPDdUQ5BEdc&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5vLVBhCiARIsAD56SFJdYUoyfkN6xA_EHGoSJ_zeS9dPBjtThtqgLWgi1BWYJr_5pSPP_N0aAjFtEALw_wcB'>here</a>.
