Program Manager

• Ensure consistent availability of qualified MFLC personnel and services through effective workforce management, flexible staffing strategies, and timely fulfillment of the required MFLC assignments, while maintaining an operational bench of licensed, cleared, and credentialed counselors and support personnel to enable rapid response to emergent requirements, reduce service gaps, and sustain continuity of service care across all assignment types.
• Provide high-quality, prevention-focused counseling, consultation, and outreach services that address the unique stressors of military life across diverse populations and environments and enhance participants’ ability to cope with the many challenges associated with the complex dynamics unique to the military service environment.
