Getting Help

“I think I need help.” These words can empower change and begin the journey toward self-discovery and healing.

If you know you need assistance, don’t wait to ask for help. Contact the Military Crisis Line to connect with a trained counselor with a single phone call or click of a mouse.

Help is on the way
