Military and Family Life Counselors

This is a budget increase to hire two Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs). Counselors will provide confidential non-medical counseling to support military service members and their families. This is intended to prevent lifestyle conditions that may compromise military and family readiness. Counseling addresses issues such as improving relationships at home, work, stress management, readjustment following a deployment, marital problems, parenting, grief and loss. In the past 13 years of wartime operations, significant problems have become manifest including suicide (double the rate of the general population), relationship challenges, family reintegration, violent behavior, unemployment, substance abuse, and addiction. MFLCs will assist military members to avoid or overcome these problems. One of UNG's key performance measures is personnel readiness. The ability of the service members' families to support military service directly affects the members' ability to remain in service. "Family conflicts" is one of the leading reasons for service members separating from military service. The "wellness" of the family directly affects the ability of a service member to perform in training and in combat.
