This project aims to develop and evaluate an efficient and comprehensive help-seeking intervention (Be A Depression Lifeline) targeted to early career military service members. The development of the intervention is guided by empirical research—such as mistargeted communication, self-distancing, and positive emotion infusion. The goal of the project is to increase help-seeking among early-career military members with depression, reduce self-stigma and public stigma, and increase the willingness of fellow service members to provide social support
