What

Garrett’s Space, a suicide prevention nonprofit, is excited to announce our sixth annual fundraiser, Go4GarrettsSpace. This year’s event will bring together 300 community members who are committed to providing hope and healing for young adults struggling with their mental health. Guests will enjoy a light dinner, silent auction featuring many local businesses, a compelling program with an update on our holistically focused residential center, and the presentation of the “Spirit of Garrett” award.

Why

Today, suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-24 in Michigan, and staggering numbers of young people struggle with depression and anxiety. Garrett’s Space has just broken ground on our residential campus in Superior Township that will offer an innovative, non-medical approach to mental health support, serving as a much-needed bridge between outpatient therapy and inpatient care for young adults.
