Prioritizing Your Service Member's Mental Health
 
If your service member is experiencing stress, relationship concerns, sleep problems or grief, your support can steer them to get help. The Department of Defense offers many mental health services for the military.

Free-Time Fun With MWR
 
Being mission-ready requires having downtime to relax, recharge and have fun. Service members and families have access to Morale, Welfare & Recreation facilities, tickets, rentals, vacations, the digital library and other free or low-cost adventures.

Plan For The Future With Military Life Cycle Modules
 
Your service member can watch Department of Veterans Affairs online courses to learn about their transition benefits and services. This information can make a difference in their military career or future civilian life.

Expanded GI Bill Benefits
 
With the recent passing of the Isakson and Roe, beginning Jan. 6, 2021, service members can transfer all or part of their Post-9/11 GI Bill entitlement to their ward or foster child. This is one way the VA is ensuring the unique needs of military children are met.
