MU in Action

Mark your calendar! On Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, Michigan United and community partners invite you to Identifying Triggers 2: Back-to-School Mental Health Awareness Rally & Concert at Saginaw Middle School, 3100 Webber St. Join us from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. as we celebrate youth and families with resources, conversation, and community care.

Presented in partnership with The Remnant Org, Saginaw Public Schools, Solutions Behavioral Health, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated – Saginaw Chapter, this event features a dynamic panel: Brian Pruitt, George Copeland, Dr. Pamela Pugh,

Dr. Twannie Gray, Assegid Mersha, and Ken Whittaker. Together, they’ll share strategies for recognizing triggers and strengthening mental wellness at the start of the school year.

The day will also include live music from international recording artist Sharrie Williams alongside talented local performers. Families can enjoy raffles and school supply giveaways, free food, free haircuts, paint therapy, yoga therapy, and a Kids Zone with games and face painting.

Thanks to the generosity of Solutions Behavioral Health, two full scholarships will be awarded to uninsured individuals, providing one year of treatment at no cost.
