Gryphon Place has been helping those in conflict and crisis since 1970 as the place where people turn when they need help. We help individuals and families 24/7, 365 days/year, and we are proud of our long history of being a leader in suicide prevention and education with both adults and youth. We are the community’s hub for linking people to local resources through our 2-1-1 information and referral service.

Through this program, we are able to reduce the number of suspensions and expulsions in order to keep students in the classroom.
