If you or someone you know is suicidal or in a state of crisis, please visit the Military Crisis Line online or call 800-273-TALK (8255).

You and your family should never have to face a crisis alone. There are some life events and challenges that necessitate extra support and information. If you or your family are facing issues like risk of suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, anger management or addictive behaviors, do not try to manage them on your own. Military OneSource does not provide medical counseling services to address these issues, but you can check out the articles and links below for easy to understand information and to find resources to help support you and your family throughout your time of need.
