Garrett's Space is Under Construction!
We've officially broken ground on the Garrett's Space campus in Superior Township!
Thank you for bringing hope to life!
The Garrett's Space campus will offer an innovative, non-medical approach to mental health support designed to serve as a much-needed bridge between outpatient therapy and crisis-level inpatient care for young adults. With the construction of a creativity studio and a 10,000 square foot residence, along with the renovation of an existing home on the property, Garrett’s Space is laying the foundation for a new model of care—one rooted in holistic healing, peer connection, and community.
“Our vision has always been to create a space that could make a real difference in the lives of young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation,” said Scott Halpert, Garrett’s Space Co-Founder. “Now, we are building it.”
Situated on a 76-acre property in Superior Township, the Garrett’s Space campus incorporates trauma-informed design principles. It will preserve the natural serenity of the land and serve as a holistic haven for young people who need something more than regular visits to their therapists.
“Our young adults are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis and there is currently nothing like the Garrett’s Space resource anywhere in the country,” said Dave Garcia, Executive Director.

Coinciding with its groundbreaking, Garrett’s Space has launched its “Bring Hope to Life” campaign publicly, co-chaired by local leaders and community philanthropists Linh Song and Ashley Oberheide. The organization has raised $9 million toward its $13.5 million capital campaign goal.
When its campus is completed and fully operational in 2027, Garrett’s Space will serve up to 200-300 young adults at the center annually. Surrounded by nature and a supportive community of social workers and facilitators, participants will engage in a wide range of evidence-informed, mood-lifting activities, such as support groups, movement, music, meditation, gardening, art, and nutritious cooking.
“We believe a space like this could have made a difference for our son Garrett,” said Scott Halpert, Co-Founder. “And we are convinced it will help thousands of other young adults find hope, connection and a path forward.”
