We discuss how getting back to a micro-level of community can offer hope in the face of the mental health crisis.

Community Living Room offers connection without judgement It's an airy, welcoming and comfortable space – an actual living room, really – for anyone to inhabit, without expectations.

A Space for Unconditional Connection: The Community Living Room is designed as a non-transactional, judgment-free zone where anyone can simply exist.

Empathy-Centered Approach: The space is staffed by trained "listeners" who prioritize empathy and deep listening over providing solutions.

"Connection is Prevention" Model: Founded on the belief that human connection can be a powerful preventative measure for mental health crises, the Community Living Room offers a safe alternative to traditional emergency services.
