This residence serves eight men and women with serious and persistent mental illness. The program's unique location by the edge of the woods of Stony Brook Reservation provides for a high degree of privacy, and many of the residents appreciate the serenity of the house and its surroundings. Many of the men and women have had many years living in and out of psychiatric hospitals due to the severity of their illnesses, and they require significant support, structure, and supervision in order to maximize their overall health and emotional well being.
