Join us for our 9th annual Community Illumination as we celebrate our founding values of diversity, equity and inclusion with our Over the Rainbow theme!
Just like a rainbow, The Gathering Place is a beautiful gem that rose from a storm! After deinstitutionalization in the late 1960s, former residents of state psychiatric hospitals and their allies came together across the country to form a peer movement that established supportive communities much like ours.
The Gathering Place is a "Community that Cares" and is the oldest peer run drop-in center in the state, serving the Athens community with mental health and recovery supports since 1976!
Students, staff, and members are working on a number of art objects using the colors of the rainbow to highlight the unique experiences of our members and community!
