From the Associated Press:

U.S. troops who have been reluctant to seek help for mental health problems soon be able to find it with a phone call.

A new automated phone-in assessment program is the latest effort by the military to reach out to soldiers and family members who might not otherwise seek help for post-traumatic stress or other psychological issues.
