The Ozone House invites members of the community to enjoy wine, chocolate, and cheese at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 13 at Zingerman's Greyline, 100 N. Ashley in Ann Arbor. To help celebrate the young people that seek support from the Ozone House, Patrick Gaulier will be a guest speaker. He has been with Ozone House for over six years. Starting as a crisis line volunteer, he became a PrideZone facilitator in July of 2012 then a case manager in September of 2012. Currently, he is the lead PrideZone facilitator and a clinical case manager focusing on our clients in need of permanent supportive housing through our SOLO program. In addition, Patrick earned his MSW from Eastern Michigan University in 2017 with a focus on mental illness and chemical dependency.
Gaulier is originally from Royal Oak and, prior to coming to Ozone House, worked in the Detroit metro area. He used his undergraduate degrees in English and Teaching from MSU to teach English at Waterford Kettering High School before entering Americorps and completing his service at the Boys Hope Girls Hope program in Detroit. He also worked as the Education Coordinator with an after school pregnancy prevention program in Detroit and his passion for supporting LGBTQ youth led him to complete an internship with Ruth Ellis Center. At Ozone House, Gaulier has found a home with a "delightful atmosphere." He believes Ozone House is a place that values its mission and the work each employee does is informed by that mission. In his work as SOLO case manager, he embraces challenges and truly sees the impact of his work through a young person's ability to take care of themselves.
When Gaulier has down time he likes to go for runs, cook vegetarian delights, post Lisa Frank memes, and play with his dog Evie. Connect with Gaulier during the event, send him an email at [email protected] or call the main office at 734-662-2265. To purchase tickets, visit gaybe.am/gf.
