We all need someone to lean on!

Whether you're having a tough day, feeling overwhelmed, or just need someone to listen, connecting with others can make a difference.

A simple check-in, a conversation, or reaching out for support can remind us that we don't have to face life's challenges alone.

This spooky season, remember that support begins with connection.

We are thankful beyond measure to Harding’s Friendly Markets and their generous patrons for supporting Gryphon Place during Su***de Prevention Month in September.

Today, our Director of Fund Development was honored to accept a remarkable donation of $42,366.69, raised through the generous contributions of Harding's customers in this round-up campaign. This gift supports our lifesaving crisis and su***de prevention services, helping ensure that no one in our community has to face a crisis alone.

We are deeply grateful for Harding’s and their commitment to our community, as well as every shopper who took a moment to round up their dollars and cents. It reminds us how quickly kindness can add up to make enormous positive impact in a community we are so proud of be a part of. Thank you!

Haunted houses are scary. Talking about mental health shouldn't be. 👻

Opening up about how you're feeling can be intimidating, but conversations about mental health help break down stigma and remind us that we're not alone.

This spooky season, let's make space for honest conversations, check in on each other, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. 💜

Jury duty can stay with you long after the trial ends.

Serving on a jury can be an emotional experience, and sometimes it helps to talk about it.

Gryphon Place, in partnership with the 8th District Court, offers Juror Debriefings, a supportive space to reflect, connect, and process your experience with others.

Join us at Gryphon Place, located at 505 S. Park Street in Kalamazoo, on the third Wednesday of each month at 3 PM. Our next sessions are October 21, November 18, and December 16.

Can't make it in person? Virtual participation is also available! Just give us a call at 269-488-6875 to request an invitation.

You showed up for your community. We're here to show up for you. 💜
