Garretts Space

Garrett's Space is a suicide prevention program where young adults ages 18 to 28 with depression and anxiety can find community, tools, and a place to belong. Garrett's Space was founded in 2018 by Julie and Scott Halpert after losing their 23-year-old son Garrett to suicide. We currently offer weekly wellness groups and monthly in-person gatherings where young adults can connect with supportive peers.

Guided by professional facilitators, our participants engage in discussion, mindfulness practices, creative expression, and movement activities that help build coping skills and community. We recently broke ground on our new residential campus in southeast Michigan, which will help fill gaps in our mental health system and offer young adults a safe place to find hope and healing.

Garrett’s Space is creating a new approach to suicide prevention by building a first-of-its-kind campus in southeast Michigan. This campus is designed to appeal to young adults and serve as a model for mental health support across the country.
