We’re excited to announce our fifth annual fundraiser for Garrett’s Space, where we will be bringing together a community interested in bridging gaps in mental health treatment for young adults. Guests will enjoy a light dinner and a silent auction featuring dozens of local businesses. There will be a compelling program featuring testimonials from former Garrett’s Space Wellness Programming participants, an update on our envisioned non-medical residential center from co-founders Juile and Scott Halpert, and the second annual “Spirit of Garrett” award ceremony. Guests will also have the opportunity to attend a meditation session at 5:30 p.m. as well as a healing sound bath at 9:00 p.m.
Garrett’s Space was founded by Julie and Scott Halpert in 2017 when they lost their son Garrett to suicide at age 23. “We are excited to share the latest developments on the creation of our residential campus for young adults and the way that our current Wellness Programming is already making a huge difference in our community,” said Scott Halpert.
Young adults today are experiencing an unprecedented mental health crisis and there is a critical gap in mental health resources available to support them. National surveys show that half or more of high schoolers and young adults are struggling with depression or anxiety, and approximately 15% are contemplating taking their own life.
Funds raised at the event will support our current Wellness Programming and the construction of the Garrett’s Space residential campus.
To learn more details about the event, be a sponsor, and/or donate to our silent auction please visit the event page on our website.
