About This Cause
Gryphon Place began as a youth drug drop-in center called Gryphon House in 1970. We launched an overdose aid drug information line, which later became the current helpline 269-381-HELP. Between 1980 and 2000, we became a suicide prevention center as certified by the American Association of Suicidology and implemented a youth suicide prevention curriculum in schools called The Gatekeeper Program. Today, we are the leading agency for suicide prevention in the area and we continue to offer several suicide prevention resources, including 9-8-8, The Gatekeeper Program, and Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group (SOS). Gryphon Place is part of the statewide 2-1-1 information and referral system, which connects people to a variety of resources, including housing or utility payment assistance. We are the local volunteer center for Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties. We also offer Restorative Practices services.
