DNR issued hunting and fishing licenses now display the 988 suicide prevention line

The DNR is now including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline on hunting and fishing licenses for active duty and 100% disabled veterans. MVAA Director Brian Love emphasizes the importance of this resource for Michigan’s 516,000 veterans who enjoy outdoor activities. The 988 Lifeline offers 24-7 support, and veterans can reach a specialized line by pressing one after dialing. DNR Director Scott Bowen highlights the outdoors as a place to connect but acknowledges the need for professional support. Licenses can be purchased online through the Hunt-fish app or at retail stores. If you know someone who is in a crisis or if you are yourself, call 988.
