Children and Youth Behavioral Military and Family Life Counselors

Everyone in a military family has to cope with deployments, relocation and the other demands of military life. But those demands may be most difficult for children, who may have to start over repeatedly in new schools, have little or no control over where they go and generally lack the coping skills of adults. Child and youth behavioral military and family life counselors understand the issues military children face and can provide support to meet their individual needs. They are licensed counselors with a master's or doctorate degree who have passed a criminal background check. Child and youth behavioral military and family life counselors play a key role in giving military children the support they may need during some of the more challenging periods of military life.  http://www.militaryonesource.mil/crisis-prevention?content_id=268679
