 Military OneSource began a peer-to-peer specialty consultation service on July 15th. Although the service isn't a crisis line, it supports and connects service members and their families with professionals who understand military life. The consultants must be or have been connected to the military so that they understand the unique challenges of military life, like deployments and relocations. Additionally, they must hold a master's degree. The consultants consist of military retirees, reservists, guardsmen, spouses, and separating service members, and they're trained in the best support practices. There's no waiting to talk. Consultants are available 24 hours a day at three call centers throughout the United States. If you need someone to talk to, peer consultants are accessible at 1-800-342-9647.
