Over the past several years, the U.S. military has deployed more than one million service members. Many have deployed for multiple tours, and the stress on these service members and their loved ones presents unique health challenges, requiring support from many sources.

TriWest has developed this resource in support of emotional health, deployment-related issues, addiction recovery, and military youth.

You will find information and tools to help recognize signs of stress, depression, PTSD, and more. If you need to help a service member locate a health care provider, or support a family dealing with a diagnosis, you'll find helpful information here, as well.

You can support service members and families by learning about some of the behavioral health conditions and life events that can be particularly difficult for those associated with the military.

Stigma interferes with treatment and prolongs suffering. Many service members do no seek care for depression because they don't recognize their symptoms, or because of the associated stigma or worry about peer and leadership opinions. Please encourage service members and families to seek help for the unique mental wellness challenges placed upon them. TriWest will do our part to direct individuals to the care and resources available.
