The La Crosse Lighthouse

At The La Crosse Lighthouse, we offer more than support — we offer acceptance. Here, people on a self-directed journey of recovery and wellness can find connection, advocacy, and encouragement from others who have walked a similar path.

We dream of a community where no one feels alone in their struggles — where shared understanding leads to deeper healing and more fulfilling lives. We believe that when we support each other in recovery, we don’t just heal as individuals; we help restore families, strengthen communities, and uplift humanity as a whole.

Respite Stays
Our respite support is designed for individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, or other life-interrupting events. Guests self-refer and stay at no cost, receiving:

A private, lockable room
Access to local and state wellness resources
Peer support and conversations designed to explore breaking cycles
Opportunities for groups and activities that foster connection and mutual support

This is a place to rest, heal, reconnect and discover — an alternative to hospitalization or a complement to clinical care.

Warmline Support
For those who simply need someone to talk to, our Warmline connects callers with a peer supporter who listens with empathy, shares understanding, and explores resources and recovery pathways together.

At The La Crosse Lighthouse, you’ll find a safe harbor — a place of hope, connection, and new beginnings. Together we can find our way.
