Because of my ongoing interest in helping to spread the word about people getting help for PTSD symptoms, I asked what happens if a family member calls MilitaryOneSource for help with getting military personnel to seek treatment for possible PTSD.
Ms. Thompson replied that licensed clinicians answer the phone and are able to advise family members on encouraging someone to seek help. She said, “It is really okay to ask for help.”
If you are part of a military family and suspect someone needs help with PTSD, here are the phone numbers that you can use:
Contact a MilitaryOneSource consultant now at 800.342.9647
Military Crisis Line
800.273.TALK (8255)

P.S. And if you want to read a fictional story that could help encourage people to seek help with possible PTSD, check out SOLOMON'S JUSTICE: A PTSD SHORT STORY available on Kindle at http://amzn.to/17YVSGq or read about PTSD at www.SolomonsJustice.com
