Military life comes with its own set of challenges. The American Red Cross offers confidential services to active duty, National Guard and Reserve personnel, and to members of their families. Counseling, guidance, information, referrals and other social services are available through our worldwide network of offices, located on military installations and in civilian communities. Counseling is becoming increasingly important as the number of members of the National Guard and Reserve swells. Because members of the National Guard and Reserve typically live in civilian neighborhoods, they and their families frequently have difficulty accessing much-needed military-related social services. American Red Cross counseling services are available to all military personnel.
If a hardship exists within a service member's immediate family that cannot be resolved by emergency leave, the Red Cross can counsel the family or service member about requesting a humanitarian reassignment (closer to home) or a hardship discharge. The Red Cross helps the service member understand the procedures and documentation needed. Final decisions on these applications are made by military authorities.
