Solstice House

Peer Respite

Solstice House is a non-clinical, fully voluntary, home-like respite house for adults who live in Wisconsin, and occasionally, out-of-state. We support those experiencing crisis, emotional distress, or life-interrupting events. Guests stay up to five nights in a peaceful setting, with space to rest, reflect, and connect.

Only the individual in crisis can refer themselves. We do not accept referrals from family members, providers, or other third parties.

Call (608) 244-5077, option 1 to ask about peer respite.

Our warmline also provides specialized, mission-driven support. We are available 24/7/365 to take calls from people in crisis who are experiencing any of the following:

• Crisis, emotional distress or sudden upheavals
• Thoughts of wanting to die or harm oneself
• Hearing voices, seeing visions, holding unusual beliefs, or what could be called “psychosis”

Peer-Led Support Circles

Living Madly & Beyond: A Mad Pride Support Space

A group for people with lived experience of madness, crisis, distress, extreme states, or psychiatric systems to gather, share, and explore what healing and resistance look like outside of traditional systems and medical model frameworks.

Rooted in Mad Pride history, we reject the pathology and criminalization placed on our minds, bodies, and ways of being.
