Ruth Ellis Center is a nonprofit organization in Highland Park, Michigan, operating within the individual and family services sector. Over more than 25 years, it has developed a trauma-informed program model focused on LGBTQ+ young adults, with particular emphasis on youth of color, offering a range of services such as outreach, safety-net supports, integrated primary and behavioral health care, case management, skill-building workshops, HIV prevention, family preservation programming, and housing resources. The center serves LGBTQ+ youth and aims to create opportunities for their positive futures and to support them in environments where they feel safe and supported, reflecting its mission and long-standing community presence in the Detroit area. A notable recent development includes a partnership with Henry Ford Health to establish two collaborative Health & Wellness Centers that integrate healthcare and social services for LGBTQ+ youth. The Ruth Ellis Center operates within the broader human services field and maintains a substantial footprint through its multi-faceted programming and community partnerships.
