KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A new location for a mental health center in West Michigan aims to enhance wellbeing in the community.
The Gryphon Place is opening a new location on South Park Street in Kalamazoo, called the C.O.R.R.E. Center.
C.O.R.R.E. stands for “Community Outreach, Resources, and Restorative Engagement.”
C.O.R.R.E. offers two new programs, the “Community Information Exchange” and “Justice Lifted Arrest Diversion.”
“Say I need help finding housing, and then we’re walking through that whole process with them,” Ashley Bergeon, director of partner engagement at the Gryphon Place, said. “We’re not just giving them a phone number to call, we’re actually doing some of that work setting up appointments for them, helping them fill out paperwork. And so, anybody who’s downtown who says, ‘I’m unhoused and I need some help, they can walk right in and receive those services.”
The C.O.R.R.E. Center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
