Celebrating 25 Years of Restoring Hope
Michael's Place provides grief support services throughout northern lower Michigan.
Since 2001, Michael’s Place has been a source of hope and healing across northern Michigan. In 2026, we celebrate 25 years of walking alongside children, adults, and families as they navigate the journey of grief. Through compassionate programs, meaningful resources, and community education, we meet each individual where they are — honoring every unique story of loss while gently supporting the path forward.

Upcoming Events
Thank you to all of the kind supporters who make our work possible.
At Michael’s Place, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate grief support, regardless of age, income, or circumstance.
Because grief can bring financial hardship at a time when families are already carrying so much, all of our in-house grief support programs are provided at no cost. This is possible because of generous donors, volunteers, and community supporters like you.
Your gift helps children, adults, and families find connection, understanding, and support as they navigate life after loss.
Together, we can make sure no one has to grieve alone.
Office Hours
Monday-Thursday, 9:00am-4:00pm*
