Military & Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) are experienced behavioral health professionals who work with Marines and their families to address deployment, return and reunion issues as well as other stressors that impact a Marine’s daily life. MFLCs, embedded within the units, can inform the command of trends in the behavioral health of the unit. MFLCs do not provide medical care; if a Marine requires medical support from a psychologist or psychiatrist, the MFLC will assist in connecting the Marine to the appropriate resource. Non-medical counseling is available through Military OneSource and the Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) Program. When you are ready to focus on your emotional health, reach out for support by contacting your installation Behavioral Health Program, who can help you make the connection. You may also call the Military OneSource helpline at 1-800-342-9647 (CONUS). OCUNUS phone numbers are available.
