NAMI Michigan

We are proud to feature an essential session at the 2026 NAMI MI Annual Conference led by two experts of adolescent mental health and safety, Dr. Alyse Ley and Danielle Murphy.

Dr. Ley is a NAMI MI Board Member and MSU Psychiatry Associate Professor, and Danielle Murphy is MSU Psychiatry Project Manager. Next week they are joining forces to discuss a critical issue: The Management of Adolescent Targeted Violence.

Effective prevention doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires a cross-systems approach, bringing together schools, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and families, to create a net that catches at-risk youth before a crisis occurs.

Why this session is vital:
- Collaborative Safety: Understanding how different community systems can share information and resources effectively.
- Early Intervention: Identifying the behavioral markers of targeted violence and how to respond with clinical support.
- Evidence-Based Strategies: Moving beyond guesswork to implement proven management protocols from MSU’s leading research.
- A Safer Michigan: Learning how these frameworks can be applied in our own local districts and organizations.

This is a high-priority session for school administrators, mental health clinicians, policy-makers, and anyone dedicated to the safety and well-being of our students.
