Military and Family Life Counselors

Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) are a key outreach service to Soldiers and Families. Enhanced community Family support services offer licensed clinical social workers and psychologists to address various issues that Soldiers and Families may face.

Services offered through the Military and Family Life Counseling Program are confidential, not reported to the command, and do not impact a service member’s security clearance.

One-on-one, couple, or group — MFLCs can help you manage life challenges such as:

  • Deployment adjustments
  • Stress management
  • Moving preparations and getting settled
  • Relationship building
  • Problems at work
  • The grieving process following the death of a loved one or colleague

Please note: duty to warn, suspected family maltreatment (domestic violence, child abuse or neglect), harm to self or others, and illegal activity are all exceptions to privacy.

Typically, MFLCs do not address:

  • Abuse
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Other mental health issues requiring medication or long-term care

If you're facing something which cannot be addressed by a counselor, you will receive a referral for medical counseling services in your community through a military treatment facility or TRICARE.
