VETERANS SERVICES Every day, current and former service members and their families deal with the complex issues that accompany military life. Oftentimes, the most difficult problem is not knowing where to turn when you need help. Courage to Call is a free, confidential, veteran-staffed 24/7 helpline dedicated to assisting active duty military personnel, veterans, reservists, guard members, and their families, regardless of discharge status, through information, guidance, and referrals. Call 211 option 4 for assistance.
