It's a cold Monday, grey skies, though not raining which is good for the soldiers and sailors (yes, we also have sailors in our unit) out on the range. Thanksgiving is coming up and all of our thoughts are turning toward our families and friends at home. The military has always had family programs, but as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have evolved, the military contract with families has grown stronger. I will address some of the programs available for families and add links to the right hand side of the page as time goes on.
The Military and Family Life Consultant Program is a relatively new and well-designed program available to families throughout the deployment cycle. Staffed by licensed clinical counselors, the program works with families, individuals, couples and children to appropriately address relationships, stress management, grief after loss, occupational and other individual family issues. Services can be provided on or off military installations, and everything is confidential and private and does not go on the service member's record.
Here is an article about the program: http://www.militaryinfo.com/news_story.cfm?textnewsid=2940.
Consultants are available by calling 609-864-5505 or 609 784-5199.
