Real help. Anytime. Anywhere. Military OneSource is a Soldier and Family resource program to help make your life run a little smoother. In recognition of the sacrifices each Soldier and Family is making during today's high operational tempo, the Department of Defense has implemented a program of services and counseling support called Military OneSource - a Soldier (Reserve, Army Guard and Active Duty) and Family resource program to help ease some of life's stresses. Military OneSource is fast, private and easy to use, and best of all, it's there for you any time of the day or night, wherever you are. The program offers private counseling support for all Soldiers and Family members. Services include individual, marital, and Family counseling. Counseling occurs off post, after hours, through a civilian provider in your community, via telephone, or on line. Records remain private and the chain of command is not notified unless there are issues of abuse or danger to self or others. All Army Guard, Reserve, and Active Soldiers and Family members are eligible regardless of duty status. Counseling may be directly accessed through the Military OneSource number, 1-800-342-9647, by calling or emailing a consultant, or arranging an on line consultation. Other Services Military OneSource will also provide information, advice and support on a wide range of everyday issues including:
Military OneSource contains service-specific pages as well as a wide range of general information on topics such as child care, military news, and commissary and exchange services. In addition, users can link directly to Army OneSource (http://www.myarmyonesource.com/default.aspx) from Military OneSource to get more detailed Army-specific (Active and Reserve Component) information and assistance.
Reconnecting with Family
Choosing a Summer Camp "I didn't really know where to start," the single father said when he called Military OneSource. "I have custody of my two children this summer. I've been browsing through Military OneSource Online and I read the articles on planning summer activities. I even found some specific camps that sound interesting in your Camp Locator, but I have questions and I'd like to know more about activities in my area." To help him get the answers he needed, an Military OneSource consultant asked about the children's ages, their interests and personalities, the Family's budget and other relatives who lived nearby. A few days later, the consultant mailed information about local day camp programs, along with tips on what to look for when choosing an overnight camp or a day program. Plugging a Leaky Roof "My neighbor has been watching my house while I'm away. He just called to say there is water running down my walls after the recent storm and the roof's leaking!" a Soldier exclaimed when she called Military OneSource. "What can I do? I have a meeting tomorrow and can't just cancel and come home." The Military OneSource consultant got right to work, and quickly identified several licensed, reputable roofers and contractors not far from the Soldier's home - some with after-hour emergency numbers. He even located an insured, bonded individual who could stay at her house while estimates and repairs were made.
