What: Maryland’s Commitment to Veterans (MCV) is a program under the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that collaborates with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs; Maryland National Guard; Maryland Defense Force.
Maryland’s Commitment to Veterans:
• Assists veterans and their families with coordinating behavioral health services, including mental health and substance abuse services- either with the VA or Maryland’s public mental health system.
• Facilitates and covers transportation costs to behavioral health appointments.
• Provides information and referrals related to VA benefits, employment, education, and housing.
• Provides outreach to educate veterans, residents, and community groups about MCV.
Who: Veterans - an individual, male or female, with prior active duty service (other than for training), regardless of service era.
How: Calls are accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; the caller is connected to a Regional Resource Coordinator (RRC). When a veteran or family member is linked to an RRC, they will always speak to the same person building a relationship that creates the opportunity to link them to community resources which can best meet their needs.
