Officials with Military OneSource have peeled off from their 800-number counselors pool a group of experts with military experience to run a new peer-to-peer counseling program. The idea behind the program is pretty simple: talking to a counselor is easier (and the advice seems more practical) when that person has personally experienced what you are struggling with. Dealing with a counselor who has no military life experience can be a much different conversation than with one who does. The peer to peer program looks to capitalize on that feeling of empathy. If a OneSource user is just looking for someone to talk to about navigating the difficulties of military life, the peer-to-peer pool can be that expert listening ear.
