Which program provides counseling services to Soldiers and Families?

• A. Military & Family Life Counseling Programs (MFLC)
• B. Soldier For Life - Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP)
• C. Center for the Army Profession and Leadership (CAPL)
• D. Child, Youth, and School Services (CYS)

Answer: (A)

Counseling services for Soldiers and Families are provided by Military & Family Life Counseling Programs. These programs offer short-term, confidential counseling from licensed clinicians to Soldiers, spouses, and family members, helping with deployment-related stress, relationship and parenting challenges, and other personal issues. They’re designed to be easily accessible on or near installations and are non-medical, serving as an early or supplementary resource rather than a substitute for ongoing medical care. This focus on direct counseling for the Army community is what makes this option the best fit.

The other programs serve different purposes: the transition program helps with moving from military to civilian life and related tasks; the center for Army leadership focuses on developing leaders and the Army profession; and child, youth, and school services provide programs for children and youth, not general counseling for Soldiers and Families.
