ABOUT THE MILITARY FAMILY LIFE COUNSELORS (MFLC) PROGRAM:

At Gulf Breeze High School, a Child and Youth Behavioral Counselor from the Military and Family Life Counseling Program (CYB-MFLC) will be available to provide valuable counseling services and support to military families at no additional cost to the families or the school district

The CYB-MFLC services are designed to offer extra support to assist with the unique challenges that military families experience. CYB-MFLC counselors are licensed clinicians who have demonstrated expertise in working with children. They can provide short-term non-medical counseling support in a variety of different ways: through individual meetings with children, presentations about life skills issues, skill-building group discussions, and meeting with parents and families at their request for additional counseling/coaching support. While meeting with children, CYB-MFLC counselors always remain in line of sight of a teacher, staff member, or a parent

The primary focus of the Military Family Life Counseling Program is prevention, education, and counseling support; the services are provided confidentially and no case records or documentation is kept. The counselors do not assess or diagnose and when they encounter more in depth issues/diagnoses, they offer to connect military families with other helping agencies available on the installation or in the community.
