There may come a time when you or your spouse need to talk to someone about your mental health. Beyond the typical stressors of military life, the global COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges this year. In fact, more than one in three adults in the U.S. have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression since it started (source: KKF).

Fortunately, the military has a wealth of resources for this. Many mental health resources are specific to duty station, so be sure to check with your local ombudsman, FRG or Fleet & Family.
