Supporting Michigan Football Alumni with FAM's Teammate Assistance Program (TAP)

Michigan Football alumni Vinnie DeFelice (1980-1983), Mike Martin (2008-2011), and Doug Cohen (1988-1991) emphasize the crucial role of the Teammate Assistance Program (TAP). This program serves as the first line of support for former teammates facing challenges related to medical, career, legal, financial, or mental health issues.
The trio highlights the importance of maintaining connections with former teammates for ongoing support and underscores the Football Alumni of Michigan’s mission to build a strong, enduring network for past, present, and future Wolverines.
Through TAP, Wolverine Hope-a dedicated mental health support helpline-is available to former players, coaches, staff, and their immediate families in times of need. We encourage all Football Alumni of Michigan (FAM) members to spread the word about this vital resource within our community.
If you or someone you know could benefit from Wolverine Hope, call 877.8HOPE80 or visit our website for more information: michiganfootballalumni.org/wolverine-hope.
