The Military Crisis Line, text-messaging service, and online chat provide free VA support for all Service members, including members of the National Guard and Reserve, and all Veterans, even if they are not registered with VA or enrolled in VA health care.

​The Military Crisis Line is staffed by caring, qualified responders from VA. Many are Veterans themselves. They understand what Service members have been through and the challenges that members of the military and their loved ones face.

Learn About VA Benefits and Services Through
​VA TAP
As you make important choices about your family, finances, and career, we want you to choose VA.   It’s never too early to start learning about the VA benefits you and your family may earn throughout your military career.
​In coordination with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Labor, VA provides comprehensive support through TAP to help you transition to civilian life. We understand the importance of preparing for your transition to civilian life throughout your military career, beginning with your first duty station through transition to civilian life, also known as the Military Life Cycle (MLC), and VA offers support and services accordingly.
