What we believe
We believe that every person facing a mental health challenge can access inner strength and wellbeing, so we created Michigan Minds Empowered to offer space where we could do just that – connect, learn and draw inspiration from one another.
We understand the power of asking for help because it has changed our own lives. But we also understand that every journey is unique. We’re here to help you find a path to wellness that works for you.

Our teams are here for you
Michigan’s specialty care teams, NAVIGATE and ACT Early, are available to support you. We’re here to help young people between the ages of 15-30 who are:
- Having troubling thoughts
- Seeing or hearing things that you aren’t sure are real
- Having sudden trouble focusing or understanding what others are saying
- Withdrawing from those around you and the things that you once enjoyed
- Just otherwise not feeling quite like yourself
