The US Air Force Academy recently reminded its cadets and staff that they have access to free, confidential counseling virtually anytime they want it through the Military Family Life Consultants<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The four Academy MFLCs can meet with service members, their families, Defense Department civilians, or cadets on- or off-base to provide situational, problem-solving counseling support and education in the areas of family separation, grief and loss, holiday stress, intimacy and trust, stresses of military life and access to self-help resources.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The MFLCs do not keep records and their solutions are “non-medical.” Further, they “follow strict confidentiality guidelines” — meaning unless a person says they are going to harm themselves or someone else, everything is kept just between those two people.<\/p>\n

The MFLC program<\/a> is not new<\/a>, nor is it unique<\/a> to the Academy. It does not seem to be as well known as it could be, however. A few atheists who have insisted on the need for “atheist chaplains” seem to have been befuddled at the fact they can already get exactly what they want — non-religious based, confidential counseling — from the MFLCs currently serving the troops.<\/p>\n
