Confidential Counseling & Mental Health
Private, free, won't touch your career.
What you get
Short-term, solution-focused non-medical counseling for stress, grief, relationships, parenting and adjustment — free, by phone, video, chat or in person, for the whole military family.
How we make it better
We lead with the one thing that stops people from reaching out: it's confidential and NOT reported — it won't affect your career or clearance. We tell you the session limits and the real disqualifiers up front, and we never end with a cold 'go to TRICARE' — we line up the next step.
Military OneSource (official, free) — Non-medical counseling is free and confidential through the official program. In crisis, call/text 988 then press 1. Call 800-342-9647.
