Gryphon Place

Last week our Suicide Prevention Manager, Susanna Rickman, sat down with A Healthier Michigan Podcast to discuss ways to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. Thank you A Healthier Michigan for having us, and thank you to our resident 'Emotional Support Human', Susanna. We appreciate all the work you do for our community!

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our Sponsors who have made the 11th Annual Suicide Prevention Walk possible. We are proud to be a part of this resilient community, where so many organizations support our work and the people of our community. Join us tomorrow at Bronson Park!

Today (9/8) marks the inaugural 9-8-8 Day! This annual event is dedicated to spreading awareness of the 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and emphasizes the importance of mental health support. Gryphon Place proudly answers 9-8-8 calls for 5 counties in Southwest Michigan, as well as serving as a national backup center. We are incredibly proud of the dedicated crisis workers who staff our 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. These compassionate individuals provide crucial support to community members in distress, offering a caring ear and connecting them with essential resources. Gryphon Place is grateful for the tireless efforts of our 9-8-8 crisis team, who work around the clock to fulfill our mission of preventing suicide and promoting mental wellness. We encourage you to use #988Day to share how the #988Lifeline is about “No Judgment. Just Help.” See how you can participate: Samhsa.gov/988Day.
