what has been your experience with MFLCS? A book published last year did not depict them in a favorable light? Do you view them as a trusted source for counseling?

My wife and I attended a Family Life marriage weekend retreat several years ago. It was an uplifting and challenging experience. The sessions were about the right length as were the breaks between sessions. Hosting it at a hotel allowed us to spend the night away from our children who were being cared for by other family members.

It seems I posted my comment above to the wrong question. From the rest of the comments it seems the question is about a counseling group which focuses on military members.

Sorry, LTC Stephen Ford, I posted two similar questions in close proximity to one another.

The Military and Family Life Counselor is a great asset for Soldiers to talk without records. I like the fact they are readily available.

In my experience as a Family Life Chaplain I have found the MFLC's to be very helpful and approachable. I've had a great relationship with them in Korea and here at Fort Jackson. They are restricted in the type of counseling they can provide (Solution Focused/Cognitive Behavioral) and they do not have the level of confidentiality of a chaplain. They are also restricted by their employer to short term counseling and to avoid spiritual/religious issues. I have found them to be safe, competent, compassionate and caring individuals who do great work with our Soldiers and their families. They refer folks to me regularly that are looking for pastoral counseling and I refer to them as well.
