Public Knowledge® (PK) is joining the 2025 Michigan Justice for Children Conference in Detroit from July 23–24. This two-day event is co-hosted by the Governor’s Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect (GTFCAN) and the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Michigan (CACMI). It brings together professionals from child advocacy, criminal justice, child welfare, and multidisciplinary fields to collaborate on protecting children and strengthening systems of care.
PK is committed to reimagining child welfare by prioritizing family unity and proactive prevention. We partner with agencies to deliver strategic, evidence-informed solutions that strengthen families, build cross-system collaboration, and reduce family separation through confident leadership.
