What if your child had someone at school who just “gets it” — the moves, the deployments, the stress?

In this episode, host Bruce Moody sits down with military and family life counselors Mayela Lopez and Elicia Juarez to talk about the difference they make in schools every day. From helping kids open up about tough feelings to giving parents peace of mind, MFLCs give an extra layer of support that military families can count on.
