MFLCs are the first line of defense for our Service Members’ mental health. This role is a flexible PRN-type schedule, stepping in where needed across military installations and communities to safeguard and enhance mental well-being. Counselors may support either adults or minors in a wide variety of assignments including but not limited to being embedded with a military unit, supporting military families, or working within a school setting.

Intuitive reporting tools are provided.
