Link2Life Program

We’re Here for Veterans. And their Mental Health.

Founded to honor veteran Parker Gordon Fox, an Army sniper instructor who died by suicide at age 25, the MVAA's Link2Life program supports the mental wellness of Michigan veterans and their family members. By identifying specific risk factors that cause mental health struggles or suicidal ideation, the program helps individuals address these areas and thrive in all facets of life.

The program offers immediate and ongoing support, including:

• Peer support
• Case management
• Individualized service plans
• Education on suicide risk and prevention to families and communities
• Assistance in navigation for potential veterans benefits 
• Assistance with emergency needs
• Outreach to identify those at risk of suicide

Both veterans and their families are eligible for support.

 Eligible individuals include: 

• Any active duty veteran of any branch or service of the United States Uniformed Services (which includes all Armed Forces)
• Any family members are eligible if they have an enrolled veteran family member in the Link2Life program
• The Link2Life program will work with all discharge status active duty veterans on a case-by-case basis 

The Link2Life program is not a substitute for the Veteran Crisis Line. If you or a loved one is in crisis, call 988 and press 1 to talk to a caring, qualified responder.
