www.rtor.org is a free service of Laurel House, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing programs and supportive services to adults with mental health disorders in Stamford, CT. Laurel House has been in operation since 1984. It launched rtor.org in 2014 when President and CEO Linda Autore and Vice President Jay Boll noticed a gap in the mental health care system. Family members often called them directly for help locating support for loved ones with complicated mental health needs, many living outside of our service area. They realized that families were desperate for information about their loved ones’ conditions and resources for help in their communities.

Guiding Principles of rtor.org

People with mental health conditions and their families need a safe, accessible space to obtain information about diagnoses, symptoms, and options for treatment and support.

Recovery is real. Some people experience a full remission of symptoms after treatment. Others can learn to manage symptoms in a way that enables them to gain independence and achieve their life aspirations.

Despite the availability of effective treatments for most mental health problems, there are often long delays between the first onset of symptoms and the moment people get the full range of help they need (the “cycle of discovery”).

Early intervention with the right resources at the right time can shorten the cycle of discovery and make the critical difference between a life of disability and the hope of recovery, with prospects for increased self-sufficiency and positive quality of life.

Our team has the knowledge, experience, and access to support networks to aid and hasten the cycle of discovery, making recovery and a fulfilling life a real possibility for many individuals and their families.
