پیاده روی پیشگیری از خودکشی
capital campaign
پیاده روی پیشگیری از خودکشی بسیار بیشتر از 5 هزار نفر است. این روزی است برای دور هم جمع شدن برای حمایت از یکدیگر، شکستن ننگ، افزایش آگاهی، آموزش و نجات جان ها. 100٪ از دلارهای جمع آوری شده در اینجا در جامعه باقی می ماند و از برنامه ها و خدمات محلی که ما ارائه می دهیم حمایت می کند.
OUR PAST POINTS
TO OUR FUTURE
In 1970, a nonprofit youth drug drop-in center called Gryphon House was formed. The next year, the overdose aid drug information line began, which later became the Helpline (269-381-HELP). Gryphon House then changed its name to Gryphon Place, and the Helpline became a 24/7 operation. Since then, Gryphon Place has continued to grow by expanding and absorbing several conflict and crisis programs in Southwest Michigan. Gryphon Place still holds true to its original mission to help people in conflict and crisis, while also improving and enhancing our programs and services to best serve the community’s evolving needs.

EXPANDING
DOWNTOWN
505 S Park St., Kalamazoo
A downtown location will increase visibility and accessibility to individuals who may have the greatest need for resource navigation and crisis support. It also makes Gryphon Place accessible to those using public transportation, walking, or biking.
YOUTH SOCIAL HUB
The Hub will serve as a centralized source of support to Kalamazoo County youth connecting and helping navigate community resources and social-emotional learning support in partnership with area youth-serving agencies. We will have collaborative services provided by people with lived experience to help inform and navigate our youth through crisis and conflict. The Hub will also house Gryphon Place’s Justice Lifted Youth Diversion Program, be a place for community partners to offer programming, and provide health and human services.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION
EXCHANGE
Community Information Exchange® (CIE) is a framework that supports a community member in seeking and obtaining services by exchanging data among multiple organizations. It puts the individual at the center, allowing agencies to better tailor and provide services specific to the individual while also allowing the individual to seek services at multiple agencies more seamlessly. This is accomplished through community partners’ use of a shared language, a shared resource database, and an integrated technology platform.
