Are you looking for support on any of the following? (Please note, our model is to provide peer and emotional support.

Kiva Centers' Peer Run Respite Service Agreement:

At Kiva Centers, we offer a space of warmth and understanding for Guests seeking solace and support. We embrace the values of self-determination, reciprocity, safety and respect, as we strive to foster a home where all people are valued.

As I complete this Recommendation form, I pause to consider my own readiness to contribute positively to our shared space. Am I in a mental state that aligns with the principles of respect and dignity for fellow Guests, staff, and the land we gather on? I recognize the gravity of this responsibility, and I commit to upholding these principles in my actions.

I acknowledge that if I am not able to uphold these values or compromises the sanctity of our shared environment, I may be asked to leave or no longer be eligible for peer-run respite support in the future.
