STUTTGART, Germany — Feeling stressed out?

Troops and military families stationed overseas, including spouses of deployed troops, now can receive free telephone consultations to help them deal with issues in their lives.

The program, launched by Military OneSource, aims to tackle issues such as parenting and family problems, holiday loneliness, difficult decisions, communication woes and grieving.

Eligible Defense Department employees and adult family members can call a toll-free phone number and then be linked to a personal consultant who would perform up to six one-hour consultations. The stateside consultants are part of Military OneSource’s network of providers.

The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
