Personal Work Life
Offers programs/services designed to enhance the individual's knowledge, skills, and abilities to anticipate and meet challenges throughout various stages of the military family life cycle. Services include: one-on-one assessment counseling, crisis intervention, information and referrals, track and trend data, design activities based on identified needs/strengths of the community, Air Force 101/Heart Link for spouses new to the military and Key Spouse Program.
Consultation
Assessment/Crisis Counseling is a short-term consultation for individuals, couples, and families. This counseling is geared to facilitate understanding, build skills, and increase effectiveness of daily living. You will also learn how to relate to others and discuss coping with major life events. Specific areas of concern may include grief, communication, divorce, moving, etc. Referrals are made to on- and off-base agencies as needed.
Heart Link
Military spouses join the military without taking the oath, but they are important members of the AF team. New military spouses may soon discover that their AD spouse will soon deploy or they are about to PCS, but they may not be sure what a deployment or PCS means let alone what it involves. Heart Link orients new spouses (married less than 5 years) about military life as a member and family member. Child care is available for this workshop.
Key Spouse
The Key Spouse (KS) is a trained volunteer, appointed by the Commander, who establishes a credible, informal support network at the “grass roots” level. Key Spouses maintain contact with deployed family members and provides peer to peer support to all Airmen and families in the unit. The KS helps unit leadership better address spouse/family issues and concerns.
