Cascadia Health Respite Program Description: The Respite Program is a volunteer program that takes place in a safe and relaxed atmosphere, away from stressors that can affect a person’s sense of security and stability. Respite program residents receive three meals a day, interact with the environment, explore hobbies, walk in a quiet neighborhood, and always receive on-site support from caring and knowledgeable respite staff. The Respite Program provides support to individuals who need additional stabilization due to a recent medication adjustment or who need a break from their current living situation that appears to be worsening psychiatric symptoms and who have been diagnosed with mental illness. Sites include the Tigard Respite Program, located in Tigard, and the Rockwood Respite Program, located in Gresham.
