tially even office space.
The Halperts are slated to 
close on the property in the 
spring. Once the property 
acquisition is complete, Garrett’s 
Space will move forward with 
building the residential center 
for short-term stays and further 
developing the grounds to sup-
port other treatments. 
Scott Halpert anticipates that 
the first year the residential 
center is in operation will see it 
serving as an outpatient or day-
time programming center while 
Garrett’s Space team members 
and volunteers develop the pro-
cess for short-term onsite stays.

A GROWING NEED 
FOR HELP
So far, the Halperts have 
received overwhelmingly posi-
tive and encouraging feedback 
on their virtual programming 
and are beginning to transition 

into some onsite activities as the 
COVID-19 pandemic continues 
to ease up.
“It’s been really gratifying,
” 
Scott Halpert says, “the feed-
back that we’ve gotten from our 
young adult participants.
”
The Halperts plan to contin-
ue their existing programming 
while also focusing on closing 
the sale of the property and 
beginning the process of build-
ing the residential center.
They recently hired a 
world-renowned national archi-
tecture firm, MASS Design 
Group, based in Boston, to 
work with them on developing 
the space. “It’s going to be very 
focused on trauma-informed 
design,
” Julie Halpert explains, 
which is a type of design that 
creates environments that offer 
a sense of calm, empowerment 
and safety.
“We don’t want to just be 

located in nature,
” she says. “We 
want it to be full of light, and 
we want to look at all of the 
different components that allow 
you to feel good.
”
The need for such a space is 
greater than ever. In Michigan 
alone, suicide is the leading 
cause of death for youth and 
young adults, and it’s estimated 

that more than one in 10 youths 
in the U.S. experience severe 
depression that impacts their 
ability to function.
“We believe a space like this 
could have helped Garrett,
” 
Scott Halpert adds, “and we 
want to provide this import-
ant option to the many young 
adults who need it.
”
