Luther Midelfort has a free service for military families, which makes
me think that they might have one for military personnel as well.
Here's the description of the family services, including phone numbers.:
About this Service
Families Cope Support Groups are a free service provided by Luther
Midelfort for children and parents whose parents and partners are
serving in the military.
The two "cope" support groups will be facilitated simultaneously for
children and their parents.
The children's group is designed to help your child/children develop
support from the community and to develop individual coping skills to
help him/her with separation from a parent.
The adult group is designed to introduce you to other parents with a
similar experience. This group will teach you how to cope with your own
separation issue and how to assist your child with his/her separation
issues.
Groups are facilitated by certified licensed psychotherapists.
Dates and Times
Please call 715-838-5369 for starting dates and times.
Location
Luther Hospital, Behavioral Health Clinic. Use Chestnut Street entrance,
take elevator D to third floor.

As my "adopted son" had PTSD when he returned last spring and tried to
commit suicide, I have had some experience with this issue. The
resources are limited in this area in my opinion. As he was with the
Wis. National Guard, he was eligible for less help than full-time Army
members. He did, and is, getting a lot of assistance at the VA in Mpls.
(Ft. Snelling). I believe there is some help available at the vet's
clinic in CF. It makes a difference, of course, if the person has
private insurance.
