The DOD has recently established Military One Source, a “one stop” place to go whenever service members or family members need assistance with any kind of problem.

According to DefenseLINK , One Source is a hotline for active duty members and their families available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.  The services available range from common, everyday difficulties that might face a family to “life’s most complicated situations.”

The operators staffing the call center have at least a master’s degree in social work or some kind of counseling service trained specifically to deal with military issues.
