Why Call Us?

FOUO

MFLC History• The Military & Family Life Consultant (MFLC) Program was created in 2004

in response to increasing need for support for Service members and their families driven by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

• MFLC services are designed to supplement the existing counseling services on military installations.

• MFLCs deliver non-clinical, supportive, solution-oriented services to military personnel and families; this may include outreach and direct contact.

• Support may be provided in the form of individual coaching or in psycho-educational groups.

• Consultants generally work during business hours, but may be asked to respond after hours in urgent situations.
