Webinar Recording Now Available: Soteria Houses: Safe, Humane, Life-Enhancing Treatment for Psychosis

Presenters: Al Galves, Susan Musante, Gene Larkin, and three members of the Soteria Vermont staff

Webinar Description: This webinar will provide participants with a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of the Soteria approach to treating psychosis, including a description of a typical house, how the treatment works, staffing, operations and financing. The history of Soteria houses will be covered along with information on Soteria houses that are operating in the world today. There will be plenty of stories and anecdotes designed to give participants a rich picture of what goes on in Soteria houses, how crises are addressed, the kinds of issues that need to be negotiated, and the reality beneath the words. We’ll also be talking about how to create a Soteria house in your community in hopes that this is part of a movement to greatly increase the number of Soteria houses in the United States.

Panelists include the Directors of Soteria Alaska and Soteria Vermont, a man who worked in the original Soteria house in San Jose, California, current staff at Soteria Vermont, a former resident at Soteria Vermont, and a man who is part of a group that is creating the second Soteria house in the United States.
