Our ModelHospitals address the acute medical need. Social services supply food and shelter. Plymouth Healing Communities reaches out to restore a sense of belonging.
The Power of CompanionshipTo break the cycle of hospitalizations and homelessness, we provide companionship, housing and deep respect to individuals recovering from an acute episode of mental illness. Companionship is central to all we do and is what makes us unique. It is essential to helping our residents successfully transition from the street to the road of recovery.
Restoring Hope and ConnectionThe House of Healing is our short-term facility for those just released from the hospital. The one-to-one ratio provides the support needed for mental health patients to make the transition from the streets and hospital to permanent housing.
Residents stay at our House of Healing for a few months after their hospitalization, experiencing our unique model of companionship, housing and deep respect. For each resident, there is a companion, who "walks alongside" as residents adjust to a Harborview-prescribed treatment plan and regain a sense of belonging and stability. Each night, all House members gather for dinner.
A Step toward IndependenceOthers are served by Plymouth Healing Communities through our permanent housing at Hofmann House and Agape House, upon referral from Community Psychiatric Clinic or Harborview Mental Health Services. At these houses, residents also experience the companionship component that makes us unique.
Becoming AlumniWhen residents move to permanent housing, we continue to engage with them, extending the embrace of our caring community and supporting their continuing treatment. Alumni are always welcome at the House of Healing's dinner table, and many return to visit.
