Health.mil

Health.mil is an official site of the Military Health system and it addresses mental health care and wellness for service members, veterans, and their families. Congress mandated that the site focus on the concerns and problems experienced during the initial months following a deployment. Many behavioral health experts in the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs helped create the website. The mission of this website is to help manage the challenges that are often faced following a deployment. Information and self-guided solutions are available on topics like post-traumatic stress distress and war memories, conflict at work, depression, anger, sleep problems, alcohol and drug abuse, stress, relationship problems, kids and deployment, spiritual guidance, fitness, living with physical injuries, and health and wellness.

Iraq and Afghan Veterans of America (IAVA)

Iraq and Afghan Veterans of America (IAVA) is the nation's first and largest group dedicated to the troops and veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the civilian supporters of those troops and veterans. The organization works to improve the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families. This is accomplished by connecting and empowering veterans in their local communities and online, by fighting for veterans rights in Washington, D.C., and by giving civilians concrete actions they can take to support our newest generation of American heroes.

It provides assistance and resources to service members and their families on such issues as education, relocation, parenting, and stress.

Services cover a wide range of issues that affect veterans and their families, and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
