Military Family Resources

Military & Family Life Counseling (MFLC) 

MFLC services are available here inside the building each day at WCHS.  MFLC services are available for any student with an active duty or newly-retired parent, step-parent, or guardian of any military branch.  All MFLC staff are all fully-licensed professionals who serve in the role of providing non-medical, solution-focus counseling and support to service members and their immediate families.  MFLC staff can provide support, resources, and referrals on a vast array of topics including, but not limited, to aspects directly related to military life.  

Students at the high school level often use MFLC support in areas such as: deployment-related stress, improving parent-child relationships, managing school stress, improving academic skills, managing social relationships/building social skills, grief/loss related issues, and many others.    

MFLC services are always free and completely confidential with no notes or written records generated by MFLC staff.  MFLC services are not designed for students already receiving or needing to receive clinical services (students 'in the system').      Parental consent forms are required for all students under age 18 to meet with MFLC staff- the MFLC consent form can be found below.  

Our WCHS MFLC staff is Mr. Matthew Chingren, LCSW.   Feel free to reach out to him by email with any questions or concerns at:  chingrenm@magellanfederal.com   or  by phone here at the school at Ext. #1004 or by cell-phone at 931-494-7640.
