The Gathering Place East & West

The Gathering Place opened its doors in Beachwood in 2000 in a grassroots effort to provide a space where people felt safe, connected with others, and found peace during a time of chaos. A space where the entire family was supported, the services were free of charge, and the largest barrier to entry was admitting you needed help. In 2008, a location was opened in Westlake, and in 2011, The Gathering Place Richman Family Wellness Center opened in Beachwood to provide exercise programs for individuals in treatment and those who had completed treatment. Since opening its doors, The Gathering Place has served over 47,000 individuals who have made more than 371,000 visits.
