The DoD (Department of Defense) is committed to supporting military families, recognizing that service to our nation places a heavy demand on these families. The Military & Family Life Consultant (MFLC) program is administered by MHNGS as a behavioral health subcontractor for the DoD,
The MFLC program offers a unique opportunity for licensed clinicians to support active duty Service Members.
The MFLC program was designed deliver short term, situational, problem-solving non-medical counseling services. MFLC support addresses issues occurring specifically within the military lifestyle and helps Service members and their families cope with normal reactions to the stressful/adverse situations created by deployments and reintegration. The services of MFLCs are intended to augment existing military counseling services.
The MFLC role is unique in that MFLCs do not function as traditional therapists. Consultants assess needs, provide support or refer to appropriate resources as necessary. Action plans are a key component of MFLC work.

Reimbursement arrangements for these assignments are based on $50 per hour, assuming a 40-hour flexible workweek. In addition, practitioners receive per diem payments based on the geographic location of the assignment. MHN pays for travel and lodging arrangements (when required and approved).
