AI Summary
This bill would establish the Office of Mental Health Peer Mentorship Program within the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The program would provide personal, one-on-one mentorship and support to currently serving members of the military, including the Michigan National Guard or military reserves, as well as veterans residing in the state. The program would connect participants to benefits, resources, and advocates related to education, employment, family issues, financial matters, and healthcare, including for mental health and substance use disorders. The bill allows non-veterans to serve as mentors, but the agency must make efforts to recruit veterans as mentors. The agency may receive funding from any source for this program, and writings related to individual service members or veterans would be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
