Garrett’s Space has been awarded $4,000,000 in federal funding to help build a residential center. Julie and Scott Halpert started Garrett’s Space after they lost their son Garrett to suicide in 2019.

It’s been five heart-wrenching years since Julie and Scott Halpert of Ann Arbor lost their beloved son Garrett to suicide. Through their grief, the Halperts have worked tirelessly to make sure other young people get the type of help they wish Garrett could have.

While the stigma around mental health is starting to subside, there’s still a desperate need for more resources.

Garrett’s Space is dedicated to reducing suicides and filling critical gaps in supportive care options for young adults facing significant mental health challenges.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Julie and Scott Halpert are on a mission to help young adults struggling with mental health. In the years since, theyve devoted themselves to creating Garretts Space -- a nonprofit working to prevent suicide in young adults. Were going to have young adults discuss their struggles with mental mental health challenges and how they overcame them and the value of Garretts Space. We just feel this has tremendous potential to reach more people, Julie Halpert said. To watch the livestream, donate or to find more information on Garretts Space, visit the official website here.
