We’re Looking for Art Collectors!
Prosper features works from artists who donate a portion of their revenue to the Peer Support Space Overnight Respite, an LGBTQ+ led program offering short-term stays for adults, reducing reliance on emergency mental health services. We also support emerging artists (young, old and everything in between) by lowering the costs of creating and sharing their work.
What are the benefits of an overnight peer respite?
At Prosper, we intimately respect the value of peer services. Our founders have navigated both sides—working in healthcare and seeking care as patients.
Peer Support eases the burden on our overextended ER services and improves recovery.
Research Shows: Peer Support Saves Lives
Peer support allows people in recovery to maintain autonomy while working towards their personal goals. This approach enhances overall quality of life, boosts patient engagement, and encourages better self-management, leading to improved whole health.
“Respite users were 70% less likely to use inpatient or emergency services.“
Psychiatry Online
“Peer support is an evidence-based practice for the treatment of mental health challenges. Both quantitative and qualitative evidence indicate that peer support lowers the overall cost of mental health services by reducing re-hospitalization rates and days spent in inpatient services, increasing the use of outpatient services.“
