Do you or your child need a little extra support due to moving to a new location, deployment or reunion adjustments, or daily life issues? Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLC) are available to support you and your children. Contact the Child and Youth Programs (CYP) or the DoDEA Guam School office during the school year to ask to speak with the Military and Family Life Counselor.

Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) are licensed professionals with Master’s Degree or higher who provide shortterm, non-medical, problem solving support to military children and families. MFLCs understand the issues military children and families face and can be especially helpful during challenging periods, including deployments and PCS moves. MFLCs are located at the Naval Base Guam and Andersen Child and Youth Programs (CYP) and at McCool Elementary/Middle School, Andersen Elementary School, Andersen Middle School and Guam High School. Contact the CYP or School office to ask to speak with the Military and Family Life Counselor at these locations.

Additionally, there are MFLC positions at Airmen and Family Readiness Center (AFRC), Northwest Field and Naval Base Guam who serve adults regarding topics such as marriage and relationship, stress management, job related issues, grief and loss and other types of life issue. 6
