Soteria (festival)
The Soteria () were ancient festivals held in many Greek cities from the 3rd century BC. They honoured the saviour (Soter) of a danger and could be dedicated to all the gods or only one (mainly Zeus ''Soterios''). Heroic men regarded as deliverers were sometimes associated to the divinities, e.g. Aratus at Sicyon. The most famous Soteria in antiquity were those held at Delphi.

Soteria (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Soteria ( gr, Σωτηρία) was the goddess or spirit (daimon) of safety and salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm (not to be mistaken for Eleos). Soteria was also an epithet of the goddess Persephone, meaning deliverance and safety. Soteria's male counterpart was the spirit or daimon Soter. Both Zeus and Dionysus were titled Soter, so either may have been her father; her mother is unknown. She had a sanctuary and a statue made in her honor in the town of Patrae, which was believed to have been founded by Eurypylos of Thessaly. Various texts mention the creation of her sanctuary, for example: * Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' 7. 24. 3 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue 2nd century AD): " n Aigion in Akhaia (Aegium in Achaea)they also have a sanctuary of Soteria (Safety).

Soteria (psychiatric Treatment)
Soteria is a community service that provides a space for people experiencing mental distress or crisis. Based on a recovery model, common elements of the Soteria approach include primarily non-medical staffing; preserving residents personal power, social networks, and communal responsibilities, finding meaning in the subjective experience of psychosis by being with clients, and no or minimal use of antipsychotic medication (with any medication taken from a position of choice and without coercion). Soterias are open with no restraint facilities. Loren Mosher, who founded the Soteria experience, showed that it is possible to treat acute psychosis without restraint methods. Soteria houses are often seen as gentler alternatives to a psychiatric hospital system perceived as authoritarian, hostile or violent and based on routine use of psychiatric (particularly antipsychotic) drugs. Soteria houses are sometimes used as "early intervention" or "crisis resolution" services. Theoretical ...
