Why Michigan Presents

Michigan Presents was created to bring together professionals across disciplines who are all working toward the same goal—better outcomes for individuals and families navigating complex challenges.

This is more than a conference.
It’s a space for connection, shared insight, and meaningful collaboration across systems that don’t often sit at the same table.

How This Conference is Different

  • Open notebook with calendar page for September, showing days numbered 1 to 30, and yellow highlighter marking the days Monday through Friday. A black water color marker with a yellow and gray label is resting on the pages. The page also contains handwritten notes and drawings, including an arrow pointing to the right and a note about returning to school from 10 to 14. There is a black and white drawing of a branch with leaves at the bottom of the page.

    One and a Half Day Experience

    Provider Forum + National Keynote Symposium designed to deepen both learning and connection.

  • Two colleagues, a man and a woman, smiling and high-fiving each other in an office. The man has a beard and is wearing a light blue shirt with a striped tie, while the woman has long brown hair and is dressed in a black blazer and white shirt. They are sitting at a cluttered desk with papers, a laptop, and coffee cups, in a room with a brick wall and large windows.

    Real Relationship Building

    Structured networking that goes beyond exchanging business cards.

    Multidisciplinary Audience

    Connect with professionals across mental health, addiction, medical, legal, education, and community systems.

Michigan Presents is About Bringing Change

The Michigan Presents group brings together behavioral health and community professionals across Michigan through annual continuing education conferences designed to foster learning, collaboration, and meaningful connection. With a shared commitment to compassionate, practical approaches that strengthen individuals, families, and communities, these gatherings not only enhance professional practice but also serve a greater purpose—uniting participants around a philanthropic mission.

In this way, Michigan Presents creates a country-wide, powerful dual impact—advancing professional excellence while giving back to help ensure that no child affected by the disease of addiction feels unseen or unheard.
