"Alzheimer’s disease represents a growing public health challenge in Michigan and is projected to affect an increasing number of residents in the coming decades. Currently, approximately 203,000 Michiganders aged 65 years and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease.⁵ In addition, nearly 16.9% of adults aged 45 years and older report experiencing subjective cognitive decline.⁵ In 2024, Alzheimer’s disease accounted for 4,404 deaths in Michigan, giving the state the eighth-highest Alzheimer’s mortality rate in the United States."

Just as the body needs care and attention, so does emotional and mental well-being. Yet, there is a silent crisis in men’s mental health — one that too often goes unnoticed or unspoken. Men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women*, underscoring the urgent need to break this silence and seek support.

Small steps to care for mental health can lead to significant change. Let’s build a culture where men feel safe speaking up and reaching out. As a community, we can break the stigma, support one another, and ensure no one struggles in silence.

Today is the 12th National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Today is about remembering lives lost.
It’s about standing with families.
It’s about saying clearly that violence cannot be our normal.
For many of us, this hits close to home. We’ve seen the impact in our neighborhoods. We’ve felt it in our schools, our blocks, our communities.
And we also know prevention works.
In 6 days, we’re heading to Lansing for CVI Day on June 11.
It’s a 45-minute drive.
A 45-minute drive to change and save lives.
We’re bringing Detroit’s voice to the Capitol — youth leaders, community advocates, credible messengers, and residents who believe in safer streets.
If you care about real solutions.
If you believe communities deserve investment.
If you’re ready to show up.
We hope to see you there.
June 11. Lansing. Let’s move with purpose.
