Military and Family Life Counselors provide support to military children for a variety of issues, including low self-esteem, behavioral problems, and changes at home. These counselors, who are part of the Military and Family Life Counseling Program, understand the issues military children face and can be especially helpful during challenging periods, including deployments and PCS moves. The licensed counselors in the MFLC Program address:

​​

• Self-esteem issues

• Communication and relationships at home and school

• Life skills, such as problem-solving and adjustment

• Behavioral issues, including bullying, and anger management

• Changes at home, such as deployment, reunion, divorce, and grief
   

Conversations in these sessions stay between your child and his or her counselor. The only exceptions to this rule are cases of domestic violence, abuse, and suicidal or homicidal threats. If your child is in immediate crisis, call the Military Crisis Line at 988,  press 1, chat online, or send a text message to 838255.
