Gryphon Place serves as a lifeline for individuals and families navigating crisis and instability across our region. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, marked by funding losses, housing insecurity, financial strain, and inequities, the need for crisis response and coordinated support intensified.

Our crisis team responded to 65,550 calls, resolving 99 percent without emergency intervention, while 211 services answered 146,556 calls and 1,670 texts, helping meet more than 690,000 needs for food, housing, health care and other essentials.

Prevention efforts also created lasting impact. 2,028 middle and high school students participated in Gatekeeper suicide prevention education, with 89 percent reporting greater willingness to seek help, and 269 community members were trained in suicide prevention and intervention skills, expanding the safety net across our region. Youth in the Justice Lifted Arrest Diversion Program experienced a 96 percent reduction in law enforcement interaction, demonstrating measurable system impact.

Gryphon Place also opened the CORRE Center and launched the Community Information Exchange® in collaboration with community partners. The CIE® strengthens coordination across health and human service organizations, addresses social determinants of health, and advances health equity by ensuring individuals receive timely, connected and person-centered support.

Our committed partners, including Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, helped sustain exceptional service quality during a period of uncertainty and positioned Gryphon Place to regain critical funding and continue meeting rising demand. Together, we are advancing equity, strengthening community resilience and ensuring hope remains accessible to all.
