The Chelsea Standard · October 12, 2006 · Ann Arbor
In October 2006, a notice in The Chelsea Standard told readers that community members were working to bring Ele’s Place to the Ann Arbor area. The effort was still taking shape. Local families began meeting in groups the following year.
The notice records a moment before there was a branch building or a regular group night. Neighbors were asking how children and families in their community could have access to peer grief support closer to home.
