Soteria Las Cruces is a newly-funded start-up program in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Soteria is a residential treatment setting for adults, 18 years of age and older, experiencing intense mental health challenges (i.e. psychosis), especially individuals in the early stages of crisis who may not benefit from traditional hospitalization. Soteria is a home-like setting where people receive support and affirmation while experiencing a psychotic episode. The Soteria approach is based on the concept of ’being with’ the individual rather than ’doing to’ them. The primary mode of treatment is one of relationships and psychosocial approaches and supports.This is a newly funded start-up program and, as such, comes with the excitement of start-up and the opportunity to build from the ground up. With staff support, residents are encouraged to engage in community activities and role recovery (student, worker, family member) as they are able.
