David Fair: This is 89 one WEMU. And today, we’re going to talk about mental health–in particular, the mental health of those aged 18 to 28. I’m David Fair, and it can be hard to admit when we’re struggling. Even when we do, sometimes we still feel there’s nowhere to turn. That’s the idea behind Garrett’s Space. Garrett Halpert to of Ann Arbor went to Pioneer High School and graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in psychology in 2016. He was accomplished in a number of endeavors and passions and from the outside looking in, seemed to have the world in his hands. Mental illness is nondiscriminatory. And in 2017, it got the better of Garrett, and he took his own life. In the midst of devastating grief, Garrett’s family almost immediately decided to try and help others dealing with mental health issues and the idea of presenting similar outcomes. In fact, in the obituary for their son, Julie and Scott Halpert asked that any donations be made to the University of Michigan Depression Center, where a memorial fund in Garrett’s name would be used, and I quote, “to support future efforts to help those who are struggling or at risk.” Well, we are here today to talk about that future, and it is fittingly called Garrett’s Space. We welcome today’s conversation with Garrett’s mom, Julie Halpert. And I’m so grateful for your company, Julie!
