Outreach to Military Families

DoD Program Seeks Mental Health Counselors to Work with Military Families
Are you thinking about a change? Ready to move away from the traditional clinical hour? Can you see yourself learning military structure and working within that structure? Do you have a desire to travel to military installations-stateside and overseas-to support active-duty members, National Guard, and their families? Independently licensed mental health counselors are needed for the Military & Family Life Consultant (MFLC) Program. Driven by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the MFLC Program was created in 2004 to support service members and their families. MFLC services supplement existing counseling services on military installations. The role of the MFLC counselor is not a traditional counseling role. Rather, MFLCs offer confidential, informal support, outreach, problem-solving to military personnel and families-but this is not a clinical hour. Support may be provided in the form of individual coaching or in psychoeducational groups. Opportunities are available for both summer programs and as year-round consultants. Consultants generally work during business hours, but may be asked to respond after hours in urgent situations. Consultants have been placed in assignments throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, and the Pacific Rim, but consultants are not sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. The amount of time worked weekly varies according to assignment, but MFLCs on rotational assignments typically work full 40-hour weeks. When consultants travel to a distant location for an assignment and need to stay near the base, they are reimbursed for their travel, lodging, and meals. For assignments close to the practitioner's home, a mileage reimbursement is available. Payment for rotational assignments (30 to 90 days, usually) and on-demand (1 to 3 days, usually weekends) assignments is based on $55/hour. Expertise with young children is required for assignments with MFLC Child and Youth Services, Summer Youth Programs. For more information about this important work, contact dod.inquiry@healthnet.com.
